-mekle beraber


 This combines two statements, can mean "yet, however,but,and "

Verb stem + makla beraber


Examples :

1)  Parası olmamakla beraber yine de mutluydu.

 He had no money, yet he was happy.

 

* Lack of money often destroys happiness, yet there may be certain  compensating factors along with the lack of money. We accept the situation. We see that the person is happy and we also know that he is poor.

 

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

2) Yemekler pahalı olmakla beraber çok güzeldi.

 The food was expensive, but it was delicious.

 

* Above , we realize that the food was expensive, however it was delicious compensates for this.

 

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

3) Yemekler pahalı olmamakla beraber çok güzeldi.

 The food wasn´t expensive and it was delicious.

 

* Here, we are faced contrary facts that cheap food is usually not good, yet it is in this case.

It seems that there are still normal people among Israeli religious men.

Well done to those good people who are against their Terrorist state actions.

Quoting rainier

 

 

I still don´t understand the use of -miştir in this case.. Why is it also allowed to write doğdu if I didn´t witness the act?

Also, is it correct that if I see the battery decreasing, I would say "şarjı bitti"?

 

* If you see battery is decreasing then you should say " Şarjı bitiyor " or " Şarjı azalıyor " ---> Its battery is going down [decreasing]

* But when no battery left,and you witnessed all process, then you say " Şarjı bitti "


Yes, you didn´t witness that birth of that person but however , since it is well-known fact that person who is famous has been born in that date. That´s why you can use just doğdu. You don´t need to be witnessed .

For example , We all know that Ataturk was born in 1881, this is a well-known fact since he is a famous person, so, we didnt need to witness that, we just know it , cus it is a fact that every body knows. so we can say 

Atatürk 1881 yılında doğdu.

Likewise that person you mentioned in your sentence must be a famous person, that is mentioned in newspaper or book. 

 

In normal case, for example, when you report the date of your friend to another friend, you should use -muş. Since Ali is not a famous public figure that is mentioned in books. 

 

Ali 1977´de doğmuş.  

Ali 1977 doğumluymuş.

Quoting rainier

Hi,

I have two questions about the suffix -miş.

1) I was reading a Turkish text, the biography of Sinan Akçıl, and I came across a structure I couldn´t understand.
The sentence was: "Sinan Akçıl, 20 Mayıs 1982 tarihinde Hollanda’nın Leeuwarden şehrinde doğmuştur."
Now, I know that "doğmuştur" comes from the verb "doğmak" which means "to be born".
Why is the suffix -miş used here, and why is the suffix -tir used here?

2) I asked a Turkish person how to say that the battery of my phone was empty. He said: "Şarjı bitmiş". Why do I use -miş here?

Thanks a lot!

 

The sentence was: "Sinan Akçıl, 20 Mayıs 1982 tarihinde Hollanda’nın Leeuwarden şehrinde doğmuştur."


- muştur here is more formal usage of past tense.

It is same as simple past  "doğdu ". It´s just we try to be  more stylish and formal by saying like that.


  Şarjı bitmiş. Its out of battery. 

He used this reported past because he did NOT witness when your phone run out of battery.

Another example : 

You come home and turn the TV on, but it doesn´t work. And when you report this to your friend you say " Televizyon bozulmuş , çalışmıyor. " 

Since, tv gone broken while you were not there, you did not witness the process of its got broken.

-lar [ler] as  approximation 

 

Sometimes, with couple of words, the plural suffix -lar [ler] can be used to indicate the approximation.

 

O zamanlar  6 yaşlarındaydı.

In those times, he/she was about [around, approximately] 6 years old.

 

1.80 boylarında sarışın bir kız.

A blonde girl who is about 1.80 tall.
