Questions & Answers about Berbere uğrayınca randevu alıyorum.

Why is it berbere (with -e) and not just berber?

Because uğramak (to stop by/drop in) takes the dative case (-e/-a) for the place you stop by. Think of the pattern as X‑e uğramak = to stop by X.

• Examples: Markete uğrayınca…, Arkadaşıma uğradım.

Could I say berberi instead?

No. Berberi is accusative (direct object), but uğramak is intransitive and does not take a direct object. You need the dative: berbere. Bare berber without a case ending would be ungrammatical here.

What does the suffix -(y)ınca in uğrayınca mean?

It forms a temporal adverbial clause meaning when/whenever. Morphology here is:

• uğra- (verb stem) + -y- (buffer consonant) + -ınca (when/whenever) → uğrayınca.

Why is it -ınca (not -ince, -unca, etc.) and why is there a y?
