Questions & Answers about Arkadaşım gelecek ay evlenecek.
What does arkadaşım mean exactly?
Arkadaşım means my friend.
It is made of:
- arkadaş = friend
- -ım = my
So Turkish often adds possession directly to the noun instead of using a separate word like my.
Why is there no separate word for my in this sentence?
Because Turkish usually shows possession with a suffix on the noun.
So instead of saying something like my friend with two separate words, Turkish says:
- arkadaş = friend
- arkadaşım = my friend
This is very common in Turkish:
- ev = house
evim = my house
- kitap = book
- kitabım = my book
So -ım / -im / -um / -üm and related forms are possessive endings, chosen according to vowel harmony and sound rules.
