anyway, Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası is the long form written on all paper money. But you cannot put T.C. here because T.C. stands for Türkiye Cumhuriyeti. Our central bank is a private bank from the beginning and millions of people get fooled by using Türkiye Cumhuriyet.

 

The grammar lesson behind this is: any noun in a chain which does not have a third person possessive suffix (here Cumhuriyet) is not qualified by a preceding noun.

I will start to broadcast a Turkish show on internet. Its name will be "Gokuyum´s world" and I will use my room as a studio and my world

This reminds me of a column which was published here when Kim Jong Un of North Korea was declared the supreme leader of the country after his father. The writer said a spoiled boy like Kim does not need a nuclear weapon but just a room of his own and a broadband there.

Sağ ol, gokuyum. I paid attention to a few things, I hope I got it right:

 

1. Compared with Turkish compounds Persian ones are built "the other way around", i.e. the modifier comes after the modified.

 

2. The modifier can be a noun or an adjective, it makes no difference here.

 

3. -i is used as a signal of the connection between the parts of the compound. (Probably not obedient to vowel harmony in the beginning.)

 

4. These structures are actually quite a salad of features of different origin: Persian grammar, Arabic vocabulary, Turkish phonetical rules...

 

5. I think Persian izafets must have had a certain esthetic value in poetry because they break every rule. But certainly they did not make understanding Ottoman literature any easier for commoners.

Would someone bother to explain how the Ottoman type compounds like divan-ı hümayun are built. They are often used for historical and stylistic reasons and it would be useful to know how to open this structure.

A hyperonyme is a notion that gathers together items that resemble each other. For instance, FLOWER is a hyperonyme of TULIP, ROSE, VIOLET, LILY etc. It is not especially a linguistic term I guess.

 

NP is a noun phrase. It means any phrase whose head is a noun.

 

I don´t intentionally try to use difficult terms, why would I? It is more like trying to be exact and not to say anything wrong.

 

Swedish is easier than Turkish.

You are mixing the nouns appearance and appeal, burakk.
