kedininkinden

 

 

 

-ki is a funny pronoun which is usually attached to genitive words or place expressions:

 

                           Ali´ninki ´the one of Ali´s´

                           İzmir´deki ´the one in Izmir´

 

It changes the genitive words into nouns and the time expressions into adjectives.

 

kedi|nin|ki|n|den = STEM + GEN + -ki- + BUFFER + ABL

 

Look, there are two case endings in the same word. That is because kedi is one noun and kedininki is another.

 

-ki- does not follow vowel harmony but of course only front vowels follow it.

"Bir şeyi yok"

 

-i must be a possessive suffix here.

 

´There is not a thing of his, nothing that belongs to him´, right?

But if someone insists to call you siz even though you think it is not necessary.

 

Btw, I think I found it:

 

                       Lütfen bana sen de.

 

Eksi sözlük calls it "Türkçeye özel sizli bizli tabirlerden kurtulma çabası repliği."

1) Yok birşey
2)Hiç birşey
3)Birşey değil

 

When we widen your three phrases into small sentences they interestingly seem to represent the three different types of negation there are in Turkish:

 

1. Birşey yok. ‘There is nothing.’  -  EXISTENTIAL NEGATION with yok, equivalent to the English ‘there is/are not’

 

2. Hiç birşey yapmadı. ‘She didn’t do anything.’  -  NEGATION OF VERBAL PHRASES with suffix –mA- (I added the verb, yes.)

 

3. Birşey değil. ‘It is nothing.’  -  NEGATION OF NOMINAL PHRASES with değil

 

I abused your question maybe a little bit, nemanjasrb, but it seemed like a good opportunity to brush up some facts. So sorry.

My Try:

 

No matter how good you are they want something better. But if you are evil they want to turn themselves into something good.

My Try:

 

What is it that you languish because of the distance, my love? Didn´t we love the Creator without seeing Him?

Tell me a few points you find objectionable in Atatürk.

 

Your question itself. I can´t get it down my throat. I guess it is a cultural thing.

 

But I admit I am not well informed and maybe I should read something. Atatürk was not among my contacts but maybe I could add him there.

I really don´t know what to think of this man Atatürk. The anarchist and troublemaker in me feels like objecting but when you Turks express your sincere love to him it is damn heart touching.
