the suffix -dir - 1

One of the tasks of the suffix "-dir" is to express official/formal notifications. You usually see in the official places (for ex: in the banks, public areas, in the work places, in academical texts etc. etc.) the sentences ends with "-dir". The task of official notifications is why they end with "-dir".

 

sigara (the cigarette), içmek (to drink), yasak (1forbidden, 2the prohibition)

Sigara içmek yasak. (No smoke. (direct: It´s forbidden to smoke.))

If you want to make it in the official meaning:

yasak+dır---------->yasaktır [remember the hardening of consonant]

Sigara içmek yasaktır. (No smoke. (direct: It´s forbiddent to smoke.))

 

hesap (1the account, 2the calculation)

para (the money)

kalmak (1to stay, 2to remain)

 

hesap+nız+da------------>hesabınızda (in your account)

kal+ma(negative)+mış+dır->kalmamıştır (it hasn´t remained)

 

"-miş" leaves the meaning of unknownness/unclearness when it comes together with "-dir". Because "-dı" which iis simple past suffix can´t be used with "-dir". It´s certainly wrong to write "-didir".

 

Hesabınızda para kalmamıştır. (No money in your account more. (direct: Any money hasn´t remained in your account.))
