Complete the missing parts with appropriate words or suffixes.

 

1) Toplantının  neden  iptal  edildiğini  bilmiyorum.

I don´t know why the meeting was cancelled.

 

2) Onun nerede çalıştığını  başka  kim  biliyor ?

Who else knows where he works ?

 

3) Sanırım, konu  hakkında  görüşlerimi  siz  zaten  biliyorsunuz.

I think you already know my views on the matter.

 

görüş = view

görüşlerim - my views

4) Onların  niçin  öyle  davrandıklarını  bilmek   istiyorum.

I´d like to know why they behaved like that ?

Quoting Abla

Is it true that one can say Afiyet olsun even to someone who has already finished eating? I think I have heard this a few times (even in a restaurant when the customer is leaving) and dropped my ears because it sounds funny.

 

Yes, That phrase can be said before, during and even after the meal. Flexible phrase. Yes, when the customer is leaving a restaurant you can hear the restaurant workers may say Afiyet olsun to people,  along with  saying goodbye.

-İyi günler. Afiyet olsun. Yine bekleriz..etc..

[Have a good day , bon appetite..please come again..]

Quoting Hascel

Merhaba, could anyone please explain when and how to add these suffixes

Mesala, abimi çok Özledim

herŞeyi biliyorum

solu git

 

TeşekkÜr ederim

 

 

 

 

abimi çok Özledim  [I missed my brother alot] ===> -i  özlemek


The verb "özlemek" takes nouns with accusative ending [ ı,i, u,ü ]

Decide which vowel to put according to  vowel harmony.

 a + b + i + m + i

Here, the last vowel is -i, so, you go with -i

 

Arabamı  özledim. ---> I missed my car.

Araba - car

Arabam - my car

 

a +r +a +b +a + m + ı

Above, the last vowel ıs -a , so we go with

-------------------------------------------------

 

-herŞeyi biliyorum  [I know everything] ----> -i  bilmek  

The verb "bilmek" takes [definite] nouns with accusative ending [ ı,i, u,ü ]

 

-Şarkıyı biliyorum ---> I know the song.

**************************************

 

sola git  [ Go to the left] --> -a  gitmek

The verb "gitmek"   takes place or direction names with generally dative ending [ a,e]

Quoting denizli

long winter -uzun kış or is kış uzun better?

lots of snow today - bugün çok kar var

It has been a long winter - ?

I understood snow storm is kar fırtınası. But any idea when I use possessive in these cases? I just wouldn´t have thought that the snow is owned by the storm.

 

long winter -uzun kış or is kış uzun better?

lots of snow today - bugün çok kar var  ---> Correct !

It has been a long winter - ?   Uzun bir kıştı.


 * These  type of noun clauses are bit different, I mean regard them as the first noun is describing the second noun ,  informing us about what is the second noun used for or what is it for.

 snow storm ---> kar fırtınası

Here , snow is describing the type of the storm rather than possessed by the storm.


El + araba + ---> El arabası.  Literally "hand car" ,  it means " wheelbarrow".

Because that particular trolley is used by HAND, we name it  as "The car that is operated by hand"

So, this is giving us the description of  how it is operated rather than how two things possessed to eachother.

 

Fabrika atığı --> factory waste

[Fabrika atık + ı ]

In this noun compound , the category of the waste, the type of the waste it says.

Quoting GulBahar

Merhabalar,What do you mean by saying "No sound dropping", Please?

 

For example,  Kayıp + et + dik + i ---> Kaybettiği

The vowel in the last syllabe, "ı" dropped.

 

But  the word  " Zamanında"  doesn´t lose any sound.

Zaman + ı + n + da

"düzenlemek, hazırlamak, inşa etmek, yapmak"

To organize

To prepare

To build

To  do
