I am reading one turkish book for children and I can´t understand some words, so I am asking some help
1) Dadısı olup bitenleri anlattı.
2) Üzerinde kolaylıkla kayabileceğini düşünerek.
3) Sophie kirecin beyazlığına, pürüzsüzlüğüne hayran olmuştu.
and can someone also explain those words. because I totally can´t understand this -ğini, -ğına and so on.
Well -
1) "olup biten" sentence has got two verbs: "olmak" and "bitmek"
Olmak, means "to happen, to occure" and bitmek means "to end"
verb root+(-ıp/-ip/-up/-üp) + verb+(-en/-an) is a structure that connects two verbs with each other. In here, this structure means "the things that happened and ended"
gelip giden : the person who comes and sees. (or came and saw).
yiyip içen : the person who eats and drinks. (or ate and drunk)
2) Üzerinde kolaylıkla kayabileceğini düşünerek.
Thinking that he/she/it can easily skate on it.
kaymak : to skate
kayabilmek : to be able to skate / can skate
kayabileceğini : ...that he/she/it can skate.
3) Sophie kirecin beyazlığına, pürüzsüzlüğüne hayran olmuştu.
Beyazlık : Whiteness.
Its whiteness/brightness : beyazlığı
to its whiteness/brightness : beyazlığına
Pürüzsüzlük : Slickness
Its slickness : pürüzsüzlüğü
to its slickness : pürüzsüzlüğüne
kirecin pürüzsüzlüğüne : to the slickness of lime.
kirecin beyazlığına : to the whiteness/brightness of lime.
Because of "hayran olmak" verb, these two adjectives turned into "dative form."
Sophie kirecin beyazlığına, pürüzsüzlüğüne hayran olmuştu.
Sophie admired to the whiteness, slickness of lime.
thx
