Using Question Marking -mI  as conditional element.

 

-mI  can be used in a conditional statement instead of ´if´ .

 

Param oldu mu ev alacağım.

If I ever have money I will buy a house.

 

As buying a house is depend on the condition of my having money. It makes it kind of  ´if´ clause.

*****************************************************

Çok çalıştı[n]  başarırsın.

You would [will] achieve if you work hard.

 

=====================================================

so the rough formula would be ;

 

Verb stem + past tense marking [dI] + mI second sentence.

   Conditional clause with -mI            +    main clause

- adurmak [edurmak] 

 

When this element is attached onto the verb stem , the verb gains the meaning of continuing. [keep,carry on]

Verb stem + adur [edur] + personal suffix

 

Siz git + edurun  = You carry on going.

Siz gidedurun , ben birazdan size yetişirim.

You carry on going, I will catch you in a while.

 

******************************************

 

Siz yiyedurun ben markete gidip bir şeyler alacağım.

You carry on eating, I will go to the supermarket to get something.

Narrative form of -Meli [Malı]

 

we use this narrative form of -meli to narrate [report] actions [ that we should or must do or not do] to someone else.

 

Verb stem  +  meli [malı] + y + mış, miş + Personal suffix

 

Ayşe´ye göre, ona daha çok ilgi göstermeliymişim.

 

According to Ayşe, I should [must] show more care for her.

Ayşe told me that I should [must] show more care for her.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

Ona hiç bu konudan bahsetmemeliymişim.

 

[ According to him] I should not [must not] tell him about this [issue] at all.

INTERROGATIVE  CLAUSES

 

1. YES/NO questions ;


a. Normal yes/no questions ;

 This type of  interrogative clause is formed by putting question marking -mI in the end.

Türkiye´yi seviyor musun ?

Buraya geliyor mu ?

 

b. Yes/no questions that need conformation ;


This type of  interrogative clause is formed by putting negative marking ´değil´ and mi "değil mi ´ or conformation marking ´öyle mi ´

 

Bugün geliyorsun , değil mi ?  ---> You are coming today , arent you ?

Yarın Ankara´ya gidiyorsun , öyle mi ? ---> You are going to Ankara tomorrow, arent you ?

 

2. Question forms with choices ;

The answers to this type of questions do not contain "yes or no".

 

2.a. Questions with choices in predicates ;

Nevin ile konuştun mu konuşmadın ?

Did you talk to Nevin or not ?

As we see, there are two choices in the question. [talked or did not talk]

 

Selim genç mi yaşlı ?

Is Selim young or old ?

 

2.b Questions with choices in subject ;

Burak Hüseyin  mi geldi ?

Did Burak or Hüseyin come ?

 

2.c. Questions with choices in object ;

Çocuk bardağı tabağı kırdı ?

Did the child break glass or plate ?

 

3. Questions with stress.

These type of questions are formed by just stressing the word [by rising sound at the end of the word]. In conformations and suprising statements.

 

Geliyorsun ?

You coming ?

 

Okuyorsun ?

You are reading ?

 

4. Questions with subclause clauses;


Ali neyi gördüğünü   söyledi ?

  Subclause           Main Clause

What did Ali said he saw ?

Any idea what "gideyazmak" might mean ?

 

 

Note: some people in this panel once claimed that there was no such form of expression in Turkish. I assure you all,  that they were absolutely wrong.

Quoting Abla

You explained gidedurmak, thank you. What I can´t really understand is gidivermek...

 

 

 

Oraya gittim I went there.

Oraya gidiverdim I went there (quickly, easily, as a favor to others, no thanks necessary)

 

I hope you can see what "gidiverdim" hides,  in addition to plain act of "going"
