Quoting matdamon

 

 

Given that it is the same subject in the main sentence "I am surprised" as in the subordinate "to see you here", can we simply say :

"Seni burada görmeye şaşırdım" ?

 

 

Yes , it is the same subject in the main sentence , however görmek and şaşırmak forms a compound sentence, -dIk participle has to come.  So, it is not possible without -dIk participle. Note that dık participle the vowel changes according to vowel harmony and the consonant changes.

 dık ---> -dük ---> düğ

 

Seni burada gördüğüme şaşırdım.

I am suprised [that] I see [saw] you here.

Hi,

You say "however görmek and şaşırmak forms a compound sentence, -dIk participle has to come.  So, it is not possible without -dIk participle. "

 

Is there any more information about other words that must have ´dik´? Is there a list?

I have the same question !

 

Indeed, sometimes it seems like you don´t need such -dik constructions when the subject of the subordinate is the same as the subject of the main sentence.

 

For instance, are those constructions correct ? 

 

Seni görmek istiyorum : I want to see you.

Yemek yemeye gidiyorum : I am going to eat. 

Oraya gitmeden eminim : I am sure to go there.

Here you can choose the cases and you get a list:

Hi,

Is there any more information about other words that must have ´dik´? Is there a list?

 

 

It can be found in complex sentences.

Firstly, if you have 2 sentences where the subject is the same, then you can combine them by using the en/an subject participle on the verb to make it an adjective (for present continuous, aorist and past tense, but for future tense use ecek/acak)

O misafir geliyor/geldi/gelir (That visitor is coming/came/comes)

O misafir kim? (Who is that visitor?)

Both sentences have the same subject (misafir) so they can be combined to make 1 sentence

Gelen misafir kim? 

Gelen becomes an adjective to describe the visitor (who is coming, came, comes)

Secondly, when you have 2 sentences with the same object, but different subjects, then the ´dik´ object participle, and personal suffixes and case markers can be added. (The same rule applies, in that it can be used for present and past tense, but not for future)

You sent a letter. (Sen) mektubu gönderdin.

I received the letter. (Ben) mektubu aldım.

Same object (the letter) but different subjects (You and I)

Gönder + dik + personal ending (you) =

Gönderdiğin mektubu aldım.

I received the letter that you sent.

Hopefully this will help a bit.

Yes I know how to use ´dik´, from these lessons:

http://www.turkishclass.com/turkish_lesson_299

http://www.turkishclass.com/turkish_lesson_296 etc,

but I wondered if there is a list of verbs that ALWAYS take ´dik´, like ´şaşırmak´, if I understand Tunci correctly. (Maybe I didn´t)

I don´t think there exists such list. But Henri´s explanation is good on the subject.

 

* If you consider -dIk participle as "that/which " as in English , then it may be easier for you to work it out. 

Exp :

- Sınavı kaçırdı. Çok üzüldü. 

  He missed the exam. He got very upset [about it]

 

Let´s combine these two sentence  using "THAT

Sınavı kaçırdığına üzüldü.
