Questions & Answers about Annem bahçeyi çiçeklerle süslüyor.
Why is the subject written as Annem instead of Benim annem?
In Turkish, family‐member nouns almost always carry a possessive suffix rather than a separate pronoun.
• Annem = “my mother.”
• Saying Benim annem is grammatically correct but sounds redundant or emphatic.
Why does bahçe become bahçeyi here?
Because it’s a definite, specific direct object, it takes the accusative suffix -i / -ı / -u / -ü (here -yi after a vowel).
• bahçe (garden) → bahçeyi = “the garden” (that is being decorated).
What does the -le in çiçeklerle mean?
That’s the instrumental case suffix meaning “with” or “by means of.”
• çiçek (flower) → çiçekle = “with a flower.”
• çiçekler (flowers) + -le → çiçeklerle = “with flowers.”
Why is çiçek pluralized before adding -le? Why not just çiçekle?
Because the action uses multiple flowers.
• çiçekle = “with a flower” (one)
• çiçeklerle = “with flowers” (many)
