Questions & Answers about Sağlığın önemi asla kaybolmaz.

How do the suffixes in sağlığın önemi work to express the importance of health?

In Turkish, possession is shown by a genitive–possessive pair:

• sağlık (health) + -ın (genitive) = sağlığın (of health)
• önem (importance) + -i (3rd person singular possessive) = önemi (its importance)
  Together sağlığın önemi literally means “health’s importance.”

Why isn't there an article like the in Sağlığın önemi asla kaybolmaz?

Turkish has no articles (no a or the). Definiteness often comes from context or suffixes. The possessive suffix -i on önem makes it definite (“the importance”), so no separate article is needed.

What is the role of asla, and why is it placed before the verb?

asla is a strong negative adverb meaning never. In Turkish, negative adverbs typically appear directly before the verb they modify. Here asla intensifies the negation in kaybolmaz (“never disappears”).
