Questions & Answers about Babam her zaman cömert davranır ve ailesine yüksek beklentilerle yaklaşır.
What does Babam mean and how is the possessor indicated in this word?
Babam comes from the noun baba meaning “father.” The suffix ‑m indicates possession, so Babam translates to “my father.”
How does the adverbial phrase her zaman function in this sentence?
Her zaman means “always.” It is placed right after the subject to emphasize that the actions—behaving generously and approaching his family with high expectations—occur habitually.
What is the relationship between the adjective cömert and the verb davranır?
Cömert means “generous,” and it describes the manner in which the action of davranır (“behaves” or “acts”) is carried out. Together, cömert davranır means “behaves generously.”
What role does the conjunction ve play in the sentence?
Ve means “and” in Turkish. It connects the two independent clauses: one about his generous behavior and the other about his high expectations toward his family.
How is the phrase ailesine yüksek beklentilerle yaklaşır constructed, especially regarding the suffixes?
In ailesine, aile means “family” and ‑sine combines a possessive marker (indicating “his”) with the dative case, meaning “to his family.” In yüksek beklentilerle, yüksek means “high” modifying beklentiler (“expectations”), and the suffix ‑le marks the instrumental case, meaning “with.” Finally, yaklaşır means “approaches” (or “treats”), so the phrase translates as “approaches his family with high expectations.”
What tense are the verbs davranır and yaklaşır in, and how are they conjugated?
Both davranır and yaklaşır are in the simple present tense. The ending ‑ır is a third-person singular present tense marker in Turkish, used to indicate habitual actions or general truths.
