Quoting Trudy: I love the Turkish culture and museums: Kültür ve müzeler Türkiye'den seviyorum. |
-i suffix is like "the" in English. So you like the culture and the museums of Turkey would be
(Ben) Türkiye'nin kültürünü ve müzelerini seviyorum.
this are called compound nouns

And if I would say:
I like the culture and museums in Turkey.
Would that be:
Kültürünü ve müzelerini Türkiye'den seviyorum? (I don't get the -nin part.)
You normally don't start with the place, do you?

Turkish uses a compound noun, the museums OF Turkey : Türkiye'nin müzeleri (like Trudy's cats = the cats of Trudy = Trudy'nin kedileri)
So Türkiye'nin müzelerini seviyorum is I like Turkey's museums.
Türkiye'de, müzeleri seviyorum means I like museums in Turkey, but it implies that you don't like museums anywhere else. i.e. It is more like In TurkeyI like museums.

The aorist tense is supposed to relate to things that happen for all time instead of just at this point in time. But why would we say seni seviyorum to a lover and not seni severim. Our love for our partner is not something just at this moment in time......
(sorry if asking about use of tenses is getting away from the topic of this thread!)
