It seems that it carries both those meanings then (getting into a state, being in a state). Just like oturmak. Thank you, ikicihan.

Agglutinativity.

Does korkmak have these both meanings:

1) being in the state of fears

2) getting into that state?

If so, what does korktum actually mean? My suggestions:

´I was afraid but I am not any more.´

´I got afraid and if I am still afraid is not the issue now.´

Right?

Ok burakk I finished the novel and I am ready for a little dispute.

Let´s see what you have to say.

Funny I also often use this method. If the phrase is established it probably gives many hits. Not a hundred per cent sure but useful for a quick check.

I think inş means inşallah and its definition is

                           bi işin olması anlamında temenni

´a heartfelt wish in the meaning of something to happen, succeed´.

Just my try.               

direndiren ´the one/thing that makes someone/thing resist´

Henry is right. The -ki word is an adjective attribute. That is why I also find

                         Hikmet´in dört yaşında oğlu var

strange. We have obviously missed something here. (That is probably why I often think Turks tend to forget the -ki´s...)

I find it difficult to see dört yaşında oğlu as the object here. If that is the object where is the subject then? Could it be that it has to do with the indefiniteness of that constituent (var/yok sentences typically introduce items for the first time)?

What if there was a real object:

                          ?Hikmet dört yaşında oğlunu bize tanıttı     ?

Hatırlıyor musun/musunuz?

Seni/sizi unutmadım.
