Questions & Answers about Çiçekler açtıkça bahçe daha renkli oluyor.
What is the purpose of the suffix -ler in çiçekler?
The suffix -ler marks the noun as plural. So çiçekler means flowers, not just a single flower.
What does açtıkça mean, and how is it formed?
It comes from the verb açmak (“to open,” used here as “to bloom”) plus the adverbial suffix -tıkça, which expresses “as…,” “whenever…,” or “the more… the more…” So açtıkça literally means “as they bloom” or “the more they bloom.”
Why is it açtıkça and not açdıkça?
The underlying suffix is -dıkça, but because the verb stem aç- ends in the voiceless consonant ç, the d in -dıkça assimilates (becomes voiceless) and turns into t, giving açtıkça.
What role does daha play in daha renkli oluyor?
Daha is an adverb meaning more. Placed before renkli (“colorful”), it creates a comparative: “more colorful.”
