Questions & Answers about Geri sayım süre sınırını gösteriyor.
What does geri sayım literally mean?
Geri means back or backward, and sayım means counting or count. Together, geri sayım is the normal Turkish expression for countdown, literally backward counting.
Why is geri sayım written as two words?
Because it is a noun phrase made from two separate words, not a single fused word.
- geri = backward
- sayım = counting
Turkish often builds expressions this way. So geri sayım functions as one idea, but it is still written as two words.
What is süre sınırı doing here, and why are there two nouns together?
Süre sınırı is a noun compound meaning time limit.
It is built like this:
- süre = duration / allotted time
- sınır = limit / boundary
In Turkish, one noun can modify another very naturally. So süre sınırı literally means something like the limit of the duration/time, which is the normal way to say time limit.
Why does sınır become sınırı inside ?
