Questions & Answers about Gidişat iyi.

What does gidişat mean in English?

Gidişat is a noun meaning “course,” “progress,” “trend,” or “current state of affairs”—basically how something is going or unfolding.

Why is there no verb like “is” in Gidişat iyi?

In Turkish, the present‐tense copula (“to be”) is usually omitted. You simply put a noun or pronoun plus an adjective or noun complement. So Gidişat iyi literally reads “Situation good,” understood as “The situation is good.”

Can I make the copula explicit by adding a suffix?

Yes. You can add the formal third‐person suffix -dir:

• Gidişat iyidir. (more formal or written style)
  In everyday speech, though, people almost always leave it out.

Why doesn’t gidişat have any case ending here? Is it in the nominative?

Exactly. Gidişat is the subject in the nominative case, which is unmarked in Turkish. That’s why there’s no extra suffix on it.

Is gidiş the same as gidişat? Can I say Gidiş iyi?
