Thread: Time Reference of DIK

Quoting Abla

I have learned DIK is not too sensitive about the time it refers to. Anything but future goes.

 

What about a sentence like

 

                 My son will have to set off on the journey right after he comes from school    ?

 

Somehow it hurts my ear to say okuldan geldikten sonra here because it is in the future.

 

It is ok to use "dık " when we mention future actions. It doesn´t sound bad. 

 

For instance ;

 

Ödevimi bitirdikten sonra duş alacağım.

I will have a shower after I finish my homework.

 

However, we can drop the actions for some cases like in your example ;

 

instead of 

okuldan geldikten sonra --> After he comes from school.

 

we can just say ;

okuldan sonra


Because we know that people will know it is "after comes from school " when we say "okuldan sonra" [after school] 

 

other smilar cases ;


işten sonra [after work]  = After I leave [finish] work

Namazdan sonra  =  After the prayer. --> After the prayer is over.

Namazı kıldıktan sonra - After I finish performing  the prayer.

Namazdan geldikten sonra - After I come from prayer [Mosque]

 

So, it just makes your message more detailed, informative but at the same time people might find it unnecessary info cus the context already gives us that information.

Quoting Abla

 

 

Hey I knew this. Once I entered the chat room and thehandsom said "Abla geldiler".

 

 

It would have been  politer saying like this --->" Ooooo Abla Hanımlar sohbet odasına  teşrif etmişler ! "

Quoting Johnk

Merhaba

 

The phrase "merak etme" means don´t worry. dogru mu? Is this just a simple way to generally say dont worry? Are there any other phrases? I sometimes use sorun yok.Is that the same?

 

Sorun yok --> No problem.

Don´t worry  ---> Endişelenme! Merak etme! Dert etme!


It also depends on  your level of  worry. 

I mean, if your worry makes you sad then you can also say " üzülme " .

If you want to be more formal & polite, you can even add plural marking "ler,lar" when u refer the 3th singular person. 

 

Kendileri iyi bir yüzücüdür, ayrıca güzel de tenis oynarlar.

" Var " and " Yok" can be used as a head of an adjective phrase. There are few fixed phrases like that ; 

 

Var gücüyle ---> With all [existing] power of oneself.

 

Var gücüyle arabayı itmeye başladı.  ---> He started to push the car with all his power.

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

Yok  yere  ---> for no apparent reason, for no reason, without reason

 

Yok yere kendini üzme ---> Don´t be upset for no reason. [without reason]

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

Yok pahasına ----> Very cheap, for a song [phrasal], to give something away


Arabasını yok pahasına sattı. ---> He/She sold his/her car for a very little money.

                                                He/She sold  his/her car for a song.

Var and Yok can take the suffix "-lık " , When this suffix comes to adjective type of words, it alters them into "abstract nouns "

 

Var + lık --> Varlık  --> Existence 

Yok + luk ---> Yokluk --->  Absence, Nonexistence

Good can exist without evil, whereas evil cannot exist without good.

Thomas Aquinas [ Philosopher and Theologian ] 


İyi , kötü olmadan var olabilir oysa ki kötü, iyi olmadan var olamaz.
