Questions & Answers about Pencereden esinti gelince balkonda rahatça oturabilmek güzel.
What does the suffix in pencereden mean?
pencereden = pencere + -den. The suffix -den/-dan is the ablative case, meaning “from.” So pencereden = “from the window.”
Can I add bir before esinti?
Yes. Both are natural:
- Pencereden esinti gelince... = when there’s (some) breeze from the window...
- Pencereden bir esinti gelince... = when a (particular/sudden) breeze comes from the window... With bir, it can feel a bit more like a specific instance.
Is esinti gelmek natural, or should it be rüzgâr esmek?
Both are fine, but they focus differently:
- Pencereden esinti gelince highlights a breeze “coming in” through the window (direction/source).
- Rüzgâr esince = “when the wind blows,” more general, no source implied. You can also hear esinti esiyor (“a breeze is blowing”), but with a source, gelmek sounds very idiomatic.
Why gelince and not gelirken?
- -ince/-ınca = “when/once” (time point or condition). It marks the time that something happens.
- -irken = “while/as” (ongoing simultaneous action). Here, the idea is “when a breeze comes (i.e., once it starts),” so gelince is preferred. Gelirken would suggest “while the breeze is (in the process of) coming,” which is odd.
