Questions & Answers about Çorba soğumadan acilen sunulmalı.

What does soğumadan mean and how does the suffix -madan work?

soğumadan comes from the verb soğumak (to get cold) plus the suffix -madan, which means “before doing something” or “without doing something.” You attach -madan (or -meden after front vowels) directly to the verb stem. Since soğumak has back vowels, we use -madan. So soğumadan literally means “before it cools down” or “before it gets cold.”

What does acilen mean and how is this adverb formed?

acilen is the adverbial form of the adjective acil (urgent). It means “urgently” or “immediately.” Many Turkish adverbs are made by adding -en to an adjective: acil + -en → acilen. You could also use hemen (“right away”), but acilen sounds more formal.

How is sunulmalı formed and what grammatical meaning does it express?

sunulmalı breaks down as follows:

1. sun- (verb root “to serve”)
2. -ul- (passive suffix → “to be served”)
3. -malı (necessity suffix → “should/must”)
   No personal ending is added, so it stays general. The whole word means “should be served” or “must be served.”
