Quoting wallflower:

How do you write that?

-Bunu nasıl yazıyorsun?
-Bu nasıl yazılır? (literally "how is this written?")

I'm wondering which suffix is used to express passive voice in Turkish. :-S



According to WinMekMak the passive suffixes are -in and -il but the suffix dictionary I use doesn't list -il and only refers to -in for genative state and second person singular possessive suffix.

Guess with pronouns it would be:
Onu yazıyorum - I write it(the letter)
Ona yazıyorum - I write on/to it (the blackboard)



That contradicts what you said earlier - or I am not understanding :-S

I thought that with pronouns the state was fixed for any given verb......but that is not the case in your example here!



A verb can have more than one state. That may have confused you.
Göndermek for example:

/a/ Sana bir kitap gönderiyorum - I send you a book
/a/ Bod'a bir kitap gönderiyorum - I send Bod a book
/dan/ Londra'dan bir kitap gönderiyorum - I send a book from London
/i/ Kitabı gönderiyorum - I send the book

On the other hand, as far as I know, the verb hoşlanmak has only one state, /dan/
So, if I wanted to say:
"I like the sun" it would be güneşten hoşlanıyorum.
"I like you" would be senden hoşlanıyorum.

So yes, with that verb the pronoun would never change, because the verb has only one state.

I hope it's a bit clearer now?



Yes - I think it is making more sense now......

It is an issue I have been really struggling with for a while now - but I guess it is something that you just learn for the verbs that you make regular use of!!!

Quoting phatz:

Also regarding actually driving on the roads in Turkey I would suggest that you familarise yourself with the over take rule. On major roads there are 1000mt stretches that alternate between the directions of traffic to allow overtaking.



But the reality seems to be that you flash your headlights and overtake anywhere As long as you flash your headlights you can go anywhere lol

Quoting Elisa:

Just one thing, but that must be an absent-minded mistake: it's onları araştırıyoruz (not -umuz, that would be possessive)



Yes - that was a simple typing error
Teşekklür ederim.....
