Third,
Regarding to "öyleyse" and "demek ki"
Can we say,its preferable that we use imparitive with öyleyse and use 'malı ' suffix with demek ki ?
-----------------
If you intend to use an imperative then you cannot use DEMEK Kİ. No direct orders may come after "demek ki". Only conclusions may follow.
Eg:
Ahmet says "The room is dark, I cannot see anything"
Mehmet may answer:
Öyleyse ışığı aç
O zaman ışığı aç
O halde ışığı aç
All means "So, turn on the light!" issuing a direct command and all are perfectly valid. Use whichever you like.
But the answer
"Demek ki ışığı aç" is NOT valid. Literally this sentence says "That is/That means/It follows, turn on the light"
You can say
"Demek ki ışığı açmalısın"
"Then you must turn on the light"(It follows that you must turn on the light)
However, do not assume that an obligation suffix (-meli) must come after "demek ki". Another example:
Zil çalıyor./The bell is ringing.
O zaman ders bitti / So(in that time/Then), the lesson is over
O halde ders bitti / So(in that situation), the lesson is over
Öyleyse ders bitti / So(if that is so), the lesson is over
Demek ki ders bitti / It follows that, the lesson is over
No -meli needed after "demek ki". Just no direct orders. All are valid, but demek ki has a slightly different meaning and use. Nevermind. I don't like it anyway
Just don't forget that O ZAMAN, O HALDE, ÖYLEYSE have the same meaning. Now you may ask, if they are all the same, why have seperate words? I'll be damned if I know!
Ask again, and you will (hopefully) receive -an answer.
