Questions & Answers about Kaşar eriyince sucuklu tostun tadı daha güzel oluyor.
What is kaşar here?
Kaşar is a kind of Turkish cheese, often used in sandwiches and toast. In everyday speech, people often just say kaşar instead of kaşar peyniri (kaşar cheese).
So in this sentence, kaşar means the cheese in the toast.
What does eriyince mean, and how is it formed?
Eriyince comes from the verb erimek (to melt).
It is made like this:
- eri- = verb stem
- -yince = when / once / after
So eriyince means when it melts or once it melts.
In this sentence, it refers to the cheese:
- Kaşar eriyince... = When the kaşar melts...
Why is it eriyince and not something with a separate word for when?
In Turkish, when is often expressed with a suffix attached directly to the verb, instead of using a separate word like English does.
So English:
- when it melts
Turkish:
- eriyince
This is very common in Turkish:
- gelince = when he/she comes
- bitince = when it finishes
- pişince = when it cooks / when it is cooked
