Artificial maybe but

 

deyimdeyim ´I am in the phrase´

 

Actually it´s also included in my list.

How ´bout other languages?

 

English:

inging = The process of adding the suffix "ing" to a word (noun, adjective, verb, etc.) to make it into a verb in present continuous tense.

doesn´t exactly fit the puzzle, but it is fun too:

 

müdür müdür müdür

 

Is the boss the boss?

Or how about Qs where the answer is the same as the question.

 

Kim geldi?

Kim geldi.

 

Who came?

diktirdiktir = that´s probably "diktirdik"

 

A possible dialog:

- I can´t read the part di..irdik. dindirdik, dizdirdik veya diktirdik olabilir.

- "diktirdik"tir

-(y)ama-/-(y)eme- = not to be able to ...

 

yama- = patch

yeme- = not eat

 

yamayama = don´t be able to patch it

 

even

 

yemeyeme = don´t be able not to eat it. That´s possible in theory but hard to understand even for native speakers.

Quoting si++

Nobody is interested in my puzzle?

 

Come on guys. You need to scan your memories and spot some relations. It´s good for your brains...

 

 

I wouldn´t expect I could come up with any 3-syllable stem but I have found 5 of them so far.

 

Any taker (native speakers included)?
