Bu “makta” eki, resmi konuşmalarda duyulmaktaydı, ama günlük dilde de karşımıza çıkabiliyor.
This “makta” suffix used to be heard in formal speeches, but it can also appear in everyday language.
Türkçede belirli nesneler -ı/-i eki alır; mesela interneti kullanıyorum.
In Turkish, definite objects take the –ı/–i suffix; for example, “interneti” means “the internet.”
Bu derste, "-meden" ekini kullanarak "olmadan" anlamını veren yapıyı tanıtıyoruz; örneğin, "Ayşe, kitap okumadan yatmıyor" cümlesinde olduğu gibi.
In this lesson, we introduce the construct that uses the suffix "-meden" to mean "without doing something," as in the sentence "Ayşe does not go to bed without reading a book."
Yeni dil bilgisi: “-dikçe” ekini kullanarak, bir eylemin ne kadar sık tekrarlandığına bağlı olarak sonucun artmasını ya da azalmasını ifade edebiliriz.
(New grammar: By using the “-dikçe” suffix, we can express that as an action is repeated more, its result increases or decreases accordingly.)
