Questions & Answers about Kontrolsüz gürültüyü kimse sevmiyor.
What does kontrolsüz mean and how is it formed?
It means uncontrolled. It’s built from kontrol (control) + the suffix -süz (without), so literally “without control.” The suffix -süz corresponds to English -less.
Why does gürültü become gürültüyü and what does -yü represent?
The -yü is the accusative suffix -ü, marking a definite direct object. Because gürültü ends in a vowel, Turkish inserts a buffer consonant y before the vowel‐initial suffix:
gürültü + y + ü = gürültüyü
Vowel harmony also dictates -ü (rather than -i/-ı/-u), matching the last vowel ü in gürültü.
Is Kontrolsüz gürültü kimse sevmiyor without the accusative also correct? What’s the difference?
Yes, it’s grammatical. Without the accusative (-yü), the object is viewed as indefinite or generic.
• Kontrolsüz gürültü kimse sevmiyor = “No one likes uncontrolled noise” (in general)
• Kontrolsüz gürültüyü kimse sevmiyor = “No one likes the uncontrolled noise” (more specific or emphasized).
