This is a very common Turkish sound change.
Some words ending in k change that k to ğ when a vowel-initial suffix is added. So:
This happens in many Turkish words, so it is something learners get used to seeing.
The -e is the dative case ending. It often means things like:
With sarmak (to wrap), Turkish often marks the body part or target with the dative:
So even though English does not literally say to my wrist, Turkish uses the dative here.
In Turkish, possession is often shown with a suffix attached to the noun, not with a separate word like my.
So:
The idea of my is already inside the word bileğime.
Because of that, Turkish does not need a separate pronoun here.
Bandaj sardı means wrapped a bandage or bandaged.
The verb sarmak means to wrap. In this sentence, Turkish expresses the idea as wrapped a bandage around my wrist.
So the whole sentence is built more like:
rather than using a single verb exactly like English bandaged.
Sarmak is the dictionary form, meaning to wrap.
Sardı is the past tense form: wrapped.
So:
Because of Turkish sound harmony and consonant patterns, the form here is sardı.
This is about the accusative case.
In Turkish:
Here, bandaj is an indefinite direct object, so it usually appears with no accusative ending.
That is why bandaj sardı sounds natural for wrapped a bandage around my wrist.
Turkish word order is often different from English. A very common neutral order is:
subject + other elements + verb
So:
Literally, it is something like:
The nurse around my wrist a bandage wrapped.
This is normal in Turkish because the verb often comes at the end.
It can mean either the nurse or a nurse, depending on context.
Turkish usually does not have articles like the and a/an. So hemşire by itself can be:
The situation or previous conversation tells you which one is meant.
The ğ in Turkish is usually not pronounced like a strong consonant in English.
In bileğime, it mainly softens or lengthens the surrounding sound a little. A rough guide is:
You do not pronounce ğ like a hard g.
So bileğime sounds smoother than it looks.
Yes, that is a very natural English translation.
Even though Turkish literally says something closer to The nurse wrapped a bandage around my wrist, English often prefers the simpler verb:
Both express the same idea well.
That is because Turkish is focusing on the bandage as the thing being wrapped, and the wrist as the place/target it is wrapped onto.
So the structure is roughly:
English often structures this differently, but in Turkish this pattern is very common with verbs like sarmak.
Yes. Turkish allows some flexibility in word order for emphasis.
For example, you might also hear:
But Hemşire bileğime bandaj sardı is a normal, natural sentence.
Changing the order can slightly change emphasis, but the basic meaning stays the same.
Yes, it is a normal and natural way to talk about putting a bandage on something.
Turkish often uses ordinary verbs like sarmak (to wrap) in places where English may prefer a more specialized verb like to bandage.
So bileğime bandaj sardı is a very natural Turkish way to express this idea.
