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.

I see this is a very confusing suffix indeed. I tried to explained in several places:

For example here

and here

and here

and here

and here ....

These are those I could find in my previous posts. I am sure there are lots of others' posts explaining the same thing time and time again.

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

Ev,bayram and araba are noun so that you cannot put "-dık"
whole suffixes are used with verbs.

Uçakla geldiği,bildim 'i knew he came by plan'

Uçakla geldiğini biliyordum

cat of the house - evin kedisi or ev kedisi

door of the car - arabanın kapısı or araba kapısı

meal of bayram - bayram yemeği

Partiye gidenler kişiler ...the persons who went to the party

if you put "-ler" after giden,you shouldnt write the "kişiler" .Because gidenler means 'the ones who go'

so.. either "partiye gidenler" or "partiye giden kişiler"

And

The film the girl watched ... Kızın seyrettiği film

Ok,so dIk comes always with verbs,tha makes it a bit easier,ama,

Uçakla geldiğini biliyordum
The film the girl watched ... Kızın seyrettiği film

Why there is 'ni' in geldiğini
İ understand the first i,and may the 'n' that is comes always whis 'o' and 'onlar ' in the accusative case ?
İs the last 'i' the accusative case ?

And what is the 'ın' in Kızın ?stands for what ?

Uçakla geldiğini biliyordum
I knew that you came by plane.


geldiğini
verb + dik suffix + possesive + accusative
gel + dik + in + i
gel + diğ (consonant mutation) + in + i



geldiğini biliyordum = I knew (that) you came.

Quoting CANLI:

Uçakla geldiğini biliyordum .

So what is the 'n' ?

It is accusative suffix.

After a possessive suffix, it's shown as -(n)i meaning after a vowel it's -ni.

geldiğ-im-i blah blah = blah blah that I come/came or that I am/was coming
geldiğ-in-i blah blah = blah blah that you come/came or that you are/were coming
geldiğ-i-ni blah blah = blah blah that he/she/it comes/came or that he/she/it is/was coming
geldiğ-imiz-i blah blah = blah blah that we come/came or that we are/were coming
geldiğ-iniz-i blah blah = blah blah that you come/came or that you are/were coming
geldik-leri-ni blah blah = blah blah that they come/came or that they are/were coming

"geldiğini" has two meanings

Uçakla geldiğini biliyordum -I knew that he/she/it came by plane and I knew that you came by plane

if you separate the "geldiğini" like that;

gel-diğ-i-n-i = its mean ...... that HE/SHE/IT came

and "n" is fusion letter here

but if you separate it like that;

gel-diğ-in-i = its mean ...... that YOU came

and "in" is second singular suffix

So that you must add "senin" or "onun" before "geldiğini biliyordum"

But you can get it from context

But if you use a proper name instead of senin or onun, which one is right?:

Ali geldiğini biliyordum.
or
Ali'nin geldiğini biliyordum.

Ali'nin geldiğini biliyordum. "I know (have alreay known) that Ali came"
Ali'nin kapıda beklediğini gördüm. "I saw that Ali was waiting on the door"
Ali'nin konuştuğunu duydum. "I heard that Ali spoke"
Ali'nin kediyi sevdiğini hissettim. "I felt that Ali loved the cat"
Ali'nin dışarıya baktığını fark ettim. "I noticed that Ali looked to outside" (is it true in English? )
Ali'nin üzüldüğünü anladım. "I understood that Ali was (or became) upset"

You don't have to put "to", just "looked outside" is enough
