Questions & Answers about Size notu e‑postayla gönderecektim, dosya şifreli kalmış.
What exactly does the tense/aspect in gönderecektim mean?
It’s the “future-in-the-past,” meaning “I was going to (but didn’t).” Morphology:
- gönder- = send
- -(y)ecek = future
- -ti = past (puts the future plan into the past)
- -m = 1sg So gönderecektim = “I was going to send,” typically implying the plan didn’t happen.
Why is it notu (with -u) and not just not?
The -u is the definite accusative, marking a specific, known object: notu = “the note.” Without -u (not) it would mean “a note/some note” (indefinite). Here the speaker refers to a particular note already known in context.
What’s the difference between sana and size, and why is size used?
- sana = “to you” (singular, informal)
- size = “to you” (plural or polite to one person) Using size shows politeness or addresses more than one person.
How does e‑postayla work? Why the -yla?
It’s the instrumental/comitative -la/-le (“with/by”), attached as a suffix:
- e‑posta (email) + buffer y (because the noun ends in a vowel) + -la → e‑postayla = “by email.” You can also write it separately as e‑posta ile; both are fine.
