How is (ta) ki used to express purpose?

                 Oturdum ki bir dakika dinleneyim. ´I sat down in order to rest for a while.´

Can I use it in 3rd person:

                 ?Nine oturdu ki bir dakika dinlene/dinlensin. ?

Can I use different persons in the main clause and subclause:

                  ?Hepimiz oturduk ki sen bir dakika dinlenesin. ?

Ok, I´ll give you a bad one:

onlar.

So clumsy. It sounds like they were thinking too long whether they need a plural third person pronoun or not. When they finally made up their mind everything else had been used already and they had to fix something quickly from the old material.

Yani.

It’s soooo Arabic. It is used exactly the same way, even pronounced with the same self-appointed tone of voice.

It may sound funny but I am maybe the strictest purist here. Loan words make me feel…betrayed.

But I saw you. That´s why I made it so quickly.

You mean

Düşüncelerimizin yönü bir olsun

is a kind of subclause and the subject of the main clause is a dropped pronoun. Ok, I guess a native ear can hear that better even though I can’t see any objection for interpreting it as the subject. Stranger things happen.

Btw, I have been talking here about sg 3^rd person imperatives even though many of the sentences in the thread including this are actually examples of subjunctive. (I found out just today.) The old subjunctive –e in sg 3^rd hardly shows any more but an imperative-looking form has taken its place. Even the meaning makes better sense this way.

My Try:

You can know me to the extent that I allow you. The rest is just what they imagine.

Düşüncelerimizin yönü bir olsun yeter.

It´s a noun clause!

Now you know.

Ok, click as many times as you want.

Not that it is any of my business but why do you post the same message a hundred times, tristerecuerdos?
