Mektup istemez

In what way is it impersonal? Subject is the letter here.

 

Literal translation would be:

The letter doesn´t want.

 

This is an interesting form. I had briefed something about it here:

http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_49726

 

 Yes, It is an interesting form.

The literal translation wouldnt sound good as you can see. I mean the subject is not very clear. "Mektup istemez " is more like "No need for letter " If it was ;

"Ahmet mektup istemez " then that would make more sense. And we can easly point the subject out which is " Ahmet "

" Ahmet wouldnt want letter "

belirtili tamlama-----> genitival construction   

a genitive construction or genitival construction is a type of grammatical construction used to express a relation between two nouns such as the possession of one by another (e.g. "Ali´s jacket").A genitive construction involves two nouns, the head (or modified noun) and the dependent (or modifier noun). The dependent noun modifies the head by expressing some property of it. For example, in the construction "Ali´s jacket", "jacket" is the head and "Ali´s" is the modifier, expressing a property of the jacket (it is owned by Ali ).

 

Ali´nin ceketi ----> Ali´s jacket.

Evin kapısı -----> The house´s door [ The door of the house]

Onun evi ----> His/Her house

Ayşe´nin gelmesi ----> Ayşe´s coming

Ayşe´nin gelmesi bizi mutlu etti ----> Ayşe´s coming made us happy.

Bilgisayarımın klavyesi -----> My computer´s keyboard.

Onun Türkçesi çok iyi ----> His Turkish is very good.
