Selam arkadaşllar


I have a question regarding pronouns more closely direct and indirect object (that´s what I was told they´re called), bana, sana, .... etc. & beni, seni, .... etc.
Yani I know that bana/ sana means to me/to you
and beni/ seni is objective pronouns... but they are confusing me, yani when should I use bana and when to use beni... Does the usage depend on the verb or the situation or there´s another thing?

Şimdiden teşekkürler

 Senin is a possessive pronoun as you say,

Your book: senin kitabin

Your bag: senin çantan

 

and seninle means: with you

like: seninle konuşuyor lazim: I should talk with you

 Tesekkurler, is there any further explanation, I´m still unable to recognize verbs that take indirect object

 

When the personal pronoun is the direct object of a verb it normally takes the ´i´ suffix

eg I love you=senI seviyorum.

 

But some verbs require ´e´ or ´a´ as the suffix to its object

eg vermek give it to me=bana ver

 

and some verbs require ´den´ as the suffix

eg korkmak I´m frightened of you=senden korkuyorum

 

If you look up a verb in the dictionary it gives the suffix the verb takes in brackets before it.

 

Hope this helps

 Tesekkurler...

You mean these one /dan/ and /ı, a/ ? in fact I noticed them long time ago, in fact at the begingins but could figure what for they are.

 

so /ı, a/  what could it mean? {#emotions_dlg.think}
