(I posted this in the Translation forum by mistake earlier, that's why I post it a second time now.)

I read this TR sentence:

"Başladığımı bitirmeye korkuyorum"

for

"I am afraid to complete what I started."

Shouldn't it be "bitirmekten" instead of "bitirmeye"? I thought that the objects of the verb "korkmak" always takes the /-den/ case.

And if not, why?

"I am afraid of completing what I started."
if that sentence would be like that,i think it must be like you say..."başladığımı bitirmekten korkuyorum...
but if you say it like,
"I am afraid to complete what I started."
Başladığımı bitirmeye korkuyorum...
turkish is sometimes so strange that you can not tell the exact reason of something... :S
