Quoting tunci

 

They are   quite  handy elements in Turkish however lately they are becoming a tool of making up new half english half turkish, weird sounding verbs such as :

 

seyv [save] etmek -  to save

download etmek  = to download

provoke  etmek =  to provoke

imaj  yapmak  = to create a [fancy] image

fit olmak =  to be fit

mastır yapmak = to do master´s degree

 

 

 

 

This is exactly what has happened earlier with borrowed Arabic nouns. The old formations just seem more acceptable because they are old and less transparent for modern speakers.

 

While producing masses of "X etmek" verbs all the agglutinative tools of Turkish have been left aside.

 

Uhh not my piece of cake.
