Hello,

 

i am am working on some advanced Turkish grammar, but need a little help.

 

Can someone please help explain the uses for these a little better. I understand dik+de (locative) to use in the meaning of ´when´.

ex. Geldiğinde - when you came

      Gittiğimizde - when we went

 

what I am unclear of is the difference between

dik+ possessive 

dik + i (accusative)

dik + e (dative)

 

 

From what I have read in the "patterns of dik" by Mehmet111 it isn´t clear to me of the English equivalent.

 

thank you

There´s really no difference. It´s all about grammatical construction. It´s like in English consider: he got away with it and he got back to it. What is the difference here between ´with´ and ´to´?

In all (or maybe most) cases dik requires a possessive suffix. Even with Geldiğinde, the possessive suffix is there, in (Gel + dik + in + de).

 

I heard him sing.

Şarkı söylediğini duydum.

Here i is the possessive. And (n)i is the accusative, because duymak requires it.

 

I can´t believe we won.

Kazandığımıza inanamıyorum.

Here ımız is the possessive ending. And a is the dative, because inanmak requires it.

Thank you.

so it appears the the following verb determines which suffix (accusative, dative, etc) is attached to ´dik´ .

 

i presume I will just learn these in time....or is there some logic or rule as to which is required?

Most of the verbs aren´t too hard to learn. But some are different. For example:

Konserden hoşlandım.

I enjoyed the concert.

 

This one is dik + den

Tom nereye gittiğinden bahsetmedi.

Tom didn´t mention where he´d gone.

"in" is not possessive suffix, the -n is a buffer -n. Just the i is possessive.

(Gel + dik + i + n + de)

In this context it is ´in´. Because it´s second person.

Geldiğinde - when you came

 

Gel + dik + i + n + de would be when he/she/came, and still written the same
