Bilgisayar is better than kompüter ... this sounds worse {#emotions_dlg.scared}

 

I support usage of "Yerleşke", too. At first, it sounded me funny, too but better than "kampüs" at least.

And now I never call it kampüs, as "Yerleşke" exits ...

 

 

thx

I think kampüs is better personally. I wouldn´t use yerleşke, it sounds so ´we had to think of something´-to me.

 

But I agree on bilgisayar. The English version just doesn´t go with the ´Turkish tongue´. It´s a matter of preference I suppose

I stopped taking them seriously after Güneş Dil Teorisi

 

 

 

 

 "Güneş Dil Teorisi" is just a theory like many others as it is searching the origins of first language but contains lots of interesting knowledges . Nowadays it is popular among linguists by the way...

Soon maybe they will want to change the alphabet too because has nothing to do with turkish language {#emotions_dlg.scared}

But kampüs has been accepted for so long, yerleşke just sounds funny, especially when you look at it linguistically --> the ´ke´ suffix is a diminituive one in Turkic language, comparable to ´çik´ in Turkish now. So, take a look at the enormous campuses of Turkey, and then say ´kampüsçük´, because that is what yerleşke actually means

 

...

 

 

 

So far as I know the -ke suffix is dative both in Sumerian and archaic Turkish (it is originally Sumerian) / kapıgka => kapıya => to the door

 

We have some nouns formed by adding -g/ke suffix to a verb root:

bil.ge, böl.ge, bel.ge, bileş.ke, etc. (g changes to k when it follows an unvoiced consonant)

 

The suffix can be followed by genitive -n:

ser.ge.n, giriş.ke.n, etc.

 

The suffix follows the vowel harmony:

konuş.ka.n

 

I assure you none of the words above is funny just because it contains the suffix -g/ke.

Yeah

bil.ge, böl.ge, bel.ge, bileş.ke, etc. (g changes to k when it follows an unvoiced consonant)

So what have these got to do with dative -ge?

 

The suffix can be followed by genitive -n:

ser.ge.n, giriş.ke.n, etc.

Where is the genitive suffix here?

 

You seem to mix up everything.

 

The suffix follows the vowel harmony:

konuş.ka.n

 

I assure you none of the words above is funny just because it contains the suffix -g/ke.
