Questions & Answers about Müsait olur olmaz seni arayacağım.

What does olur olmaz mean in this sentence?

Olur olmaz means as soon as ... happens or the moment ... happens.

It is a fixed Turkish pattern:

• verb-aorist + olmaz

Here:

• olur = it becomes / I become from olmak
• olmaz = literally it does not become

But together, olur olmaz does not mean becomes, does not become in a literal negative sense. As a set expression, it means as soon as it happens.

So:

• Müsait olur olmaz seni arayacağım = As soon as I’m available, I’ll call you

Why is olur used here instead of something like olduğumda?

Because Turkish has several different ways to say when or as soon as, and they are not exactly the same.

• müsait olduğumda = when I am available
• müsait olunca = when / once I become available
• müsait olur olmaz = as soon as I become available

So olur olmaz gives a stronger sense of immediately after. It emphasizes that the second action will happen right away.

Compare:

• Müsait olunca seni arayacağım = I’ll call you when I’m available
• Müsait olur olmaz seni arayacağım = I’ll call you as soon as I’m available

Why is müsait followed by olmak?
