Quoting Elisabeth

catwoman, the name calling happens on many thread over and over again.  Just yesterday a MOD called Americans dumb and YOU pointed out that there is something wrong with the education system here in the US {#lang_emotions_wtf}.     

 

I don´t like the name calling but it should be addressed as it happens and not selectively to protect only certain members of certain nationalities. 

 

 That mod is certainly me you are talking about.However I think you see things as you want to see because I´m 100% certainly sure that I didn´t call americans dumb. I was talking about the magnitude of dumbness in a country called the USA.

The name calling that we oppose here is very different though, it consists of personal attacks, directly targetted to members that you debate with.

If it is your favorite, then from now on it is also my favorite. 

 

 

 Nooopeee my love, I won´t let you become a copy of me. You know why we are such a nice couple is that we are similar yet so different from each other. I love you exactly the way you are my darling.

Sözcüðün son hecesindeki ünlü =

 

sözcüðün son hecesi = It means "the last syllable of the word"

                                     this is a compound noun.

In turkish "of the word" part comes before the noun, here it´s "syllable"

sözcüðün = of the word

sözcük = word

Forget the "son" which means "last" and look at the compound noun "sözcüðün hecesi"

 

sözcüðün hecesi

 

The suffixes in bold are standard suffixes to form a defined compound noun.

 

To form a defined compound noun, you add the genitive suffix "-in, -ýn, -un, -ün". You have to choose the right form according to the vowel harmony rules.

 

Here "sözcük + ün" , we take "ün" form of the genitive suffix because the last vowel of the word is "ü" (sözcük). However you cannot leave the word as "sözcükü", you have to make another changement this time according to the consonant harmony rules. sözcükü --> sözcüðün

k softens to "ð" because when you add a suffix that starts with a vowel to a word of which last letter is "k", k softens to ð.

 

To form a defined compound you add the -ý, -i, -u, ü suffix (which is called third singular possessive suffix) to the second element of the compound which is "hece (syllable)" here.

 

hece + i (you do not choose "ý" but "i" because of the vowel harmony)

 

However you cannot leave it "hecei" because in turkish you have to put a consonant between two vowels. The fusion consonants in turkish are "y,s and n". Here you pick, "s", and it becomes "hecesi". (as well you need to learn which fusion consonant to put in between because they result in different meanings, forexample "heceni =your syllable, hecesi = his/her/its syllable, heceyi = the syllable)

 

Here you have "sözcüðün hecesi"

 

You can add your adjectives before the noun that you want to describe.

"Sözcüðün son hecesi"

 

hecesinde = -de suffix here is a case suffix, and it gives the meaning (in,at,on etc)

                 "n" is a fusion consonant that is used to be a link between a word that ends with a consonant ("hecesi") and the -de suffix.

 

Sözcüðün son hecesinde = in the last syllable of the word

 

Sözcüðün son hecesindeki = -ki is a suffix that means "that is/are"

Sözcüðün son hecesindeki ünlü = the vowel that is in the last syllable of the word

Quoting Trudy

Very much below the belt. I can see you are only an amateur-teacher. Someone with a pedagogic/didactic background would never say that.

 

 Sorry, but you are no more a student. Yourself told a couple of days ago that you gave up on learning turkish. I would never do it to a student who is in the learning process. You are not, so that´s why I found the courage to make this joke.

Sözcüðün son hecesindeki ünlü o veya u olursa, iyelik biçimi -su takýsý ile oluþur.

 

If the vowel in the last syllable of the word is o or u, the possession form is formed with the -su suffix.

 

The words in bold are the verbs. The verbs are always in the end in turkish.

 

Olmak (to be, to become, to occur) = in turkish the infinitive is done by the -mek, -mak suffix. The root of this verb is "ol"

 

In order to add suffixes (personal, possessive, time suffixes) to this verb and conjugate the verb, you take the root "ol".

 

Ol + ur = it is, it becomes (the third person of the present tense)

               The suffix you need to conjugate the verb in the third singular person in the present tense is "er,-ar, -ur, -ür". You choose the one according to the vowel harmony rules in turkish. Here you choose -ur because you look at the last vowel of the word, it´s "o" and after "o or u", -ur comes.

 

olur ise = here "ise" gives the "if" meaning, but usually "ise" is changed to a suffix (it´s -se or -sa according to the vowel harmony rules), so "olur ise = olursa". You choose -sa when the last vowel of the word is "u,o,ý,a".

 

oluþmak = to form, to be formed , you remove the infinitive suffix -mak

You take the verb root "oluþ" and then add the needed suffixes to conjugate it

oluþ + ur = it forms, it´s formed

                  "ur" is the present tense suffix for the third singular person
