Quoting TeresaJana:

could adj +'ca' be the english equivalent of 'sort of', 'kind of like'

??



Yes. It also counts for nouns.

Nasıl çalıştın? İşte iyice çalıştım.
How did you study? Well, I studied fine (iyice = sort of good, it wasnt bad at all, but not good either).

Çocukça davranma! Dont act like a child!

Küçükçe: biraz küçük, küçük gibi.

Note:

Sometimes this eki also gives the meaning of 'all together':

Bugün ailece sinemaya gidiyoruz.(Today we are going to the cinema with the whole family)
--> Tüm aile, ailedeki herkes.

Sınıfça havuza gittik. (We went to the pool with all the class)
--> Sınıftaki herkes.

thank you! so cool... i c it is kind of the form of ecek a bit as well?

and also i noticed is use as an adverb adding the 'ness', 'ish' and 'ly' 'like' to nouns and verbs...

as in: childish, kid-ish, child like,
stupidly
kindly
yearly or years and years...yillarca
turkce: turkish way
