About the dIk,and An suffix,which my dear gizopy 'remember canım kadersinim right ? lol'has just explained.

Ok,here for the suffix i kind of understood.
Bu doğru mu ?

dIk suffix,
For adverb,

Çalıştığımı görmedin mi?
Can i say,
Uçakla geldiği,bildim 'i knew he came by plan'

For adjective,

Evdik kedi ...'cat of the house'
Arabadık kapı...'door of the car'
Bayramdık yemek..'meal of bayram '

An suffix,

Film seyreden kız ...the girl who watch the movie.
Partiye gidenler kişiler ...the persons who went to the party

But now,as i can see,its a bit similar in usage,both are used to make adjectives from nouns,right ?

So can i say
kız film seyrettiği ? the film the girl watched

Quoting CANLI:

For adjective,

Evdik kedi ...'cat of the house'
Arabadık kapı...'door of the car'
Bayramdık yemek..'meal of bayram '



Don't you mean:

Evdeki kedi - the cat that's in the house (stressing "not the cat in the garden" for example)
Arabadaki kapı - the door of the car (not the one of the house)
Bayramdaki yemek - the meal for bayram (not the one for your birthday)

Those sentences have nothing to do with the -dik- suffix..

I'd like to help you with the others but I have to study the subject a bit more first

Ohh,yes Elisa,
İ know about dAkI ,but i didn't mean the cat which exist in the house
İ mean a cat house, as a pet,not some kind of a cat street.
Same as arabadık kapı ..'a door car' as an adjective for the door.
Cann't say it like this ?

İsn't it same like tanıdık insan ?

I think case 2 on that page is what you are referring to.
I never heard a participle being used for what you want to express. Then again, I'm not a reference (yet )

Maybe you are talking about this use of -dik:

Söyledik kıza bak. ... Look at the talking girl (lit: the girl that is talkıng). :-S

Am I right?

Yes,but not with verbs,but with nouns.

Söylemek is a verb,how can you use it with noun ?

Actually "söylemek" is the infinitive of the verb "söyle" and grammatically it is considered a noun.
