 Wow. The thread calls itself "Main" Turkish verbs. I hadn´t come across pörsümek before!

 

Isn´t "Patlamak" more usual?

 

Anyway, it´s nice to learn a new one...

 

Pörsümek is to lose its rigidity or flexibility but not totally losing.

This word can be used for moral values also. Then gives corrupt meaning. As most of the turkish verbs this verb can be used very different situations.

It gives deterioration meaning in some cases.

 I am sorry but i have never heard this word used anywhere.. I would rather rather use :emmek veya içine almak

 

 Emmek is different than soðurmak. they are same in some cases but they are different

anyway now you heard this verb.

Quoting etimologist

Pörsümek = To shrivel up, To burst

Çok fazla þiþirilen balon pörsür.

The balloon that is inflated too much bursts.

 

 I don´t think pörsümek means to burst.  It is more like, you know when something is fresh, it is tight, but when it becomes old, or over mature, the skin becomes wrinkled and the flesh (could be human flesh or fruits or vegetables) loses it freshness, then we use it...

 

For ex:

Yaþlanýyorum galiba, yanaklarýma bak, pörsümüþ gibiler....

 So, I don´t want to be rude, but do you mean you ever heard or used this word in your life?

 OK .. you meant "it deflated" in English. "it burst" would be patladý.

Yes absolutely, it is used in science generally. If you study physics then you can come across.

 

Soðurmak

Yoðurmak (Yoðurt comes from Yoðurmak)

Doðurmak

Baðýrmak

Çaðýrmak

Aðarmak

etc...

They are like brothers

 I think I know the meaning of burst wrongly.
