Coding the verbal adjective suffixes

 

To remember them easily , we can encode them as one sentence ;

 

An ası -  mez  ar  -  dik ecek miş  --à Anası mezar dikecekmiş. [His mother will put a grave up ]

 

 

-An [en]


Yaralanan   yolcular hastaneye kaldırıldı. à Injured passengers were taken to the hospital.

 VA [Verbal adjective]

 

-ası [esi]

 

Kırılası ellerınle mi vurdun bu küçük çocuğa ? -à Did you hit this little child with your damned hands ?

VA

 

-mez [maz]


Geriye dönülmez bir karar aldılar. -à They have made an irreversible decision.

VA

 

-ar [er]

 

Koşar adımlarla yanıma geldi. -à She came to me like running steps. [with so quick steps like running]

VA

 

-dik [dık,duk,dük ]

 

Akşama kadar aramadık yer bırakmadılar. -à literally :  They didn’t leave any place that they didn’t search. In other words -à They searched everywhere.

 

-ecek [acak]

 

Gelecek yıl İstanbul’a gideceğiz.  -à We will go to İstanbul next year.

 VA

 

-        miş [mış,muş, müş ]

Sararmış yapraklar her tarafı  kaplamış.-à Yellowed leaves covered everywhere.

 VA                                              [Leaves that turned yellow covered everywhere. ]

In my opinion it is one of the most important distinctions in Turkish syntax, because in compounds

 

                        ADJECTIVE + HEAD IN NOMINATIVE

                        NOUN + HEAD IN GENITIVE

 

Often in texts this simple rule alone indicates which constituents belong together.

 

What is funny about it is that most adjectives can function as nouns and many nouns also make perfect adjectives. The borderlines between parts of speech are far from strict. Talking about noun-like usage and adjective-like usage would be closer to the truth maybe.

 

So, I asked my question because I wanted to point out how important this topic is.
