Ben sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum.

Yes. In Turkish, Ben is often optional because seviyorum already tells you the subject is I.

So both of these are natural:

• Ben sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum.
• Sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum.

Including Ben can add emphasis, contrast, or clarity, for example if you want to stress I rather than someone else.

Sahil means beach or seaside.

The ending -de is the locative case, which means in / at / on a place.

So:

• sahil = beach, seaside
• sahilde = at the beach / on the beach / by the seaside

This ending changes depending on vowel harmony and consonant voicing, so you may also see forms like -da, -te, or -ta in other words.

Examples:

• evde = at home
• okulda = at school
• parkta = in the park

Yürürken means while walking or when (someone is) walking.

It comes from:

• yürümek = to walk
• yürür = walks / is in the habit of walking
• yürürken = while walking

The ending -ken means while or when.

So:

• yürürken = while walking
• yemek yerken = while eating
• ders çalışırken = while studying

In this sentence, sahilde yürürken means while walking on the beach.

Both are possible in Turkish, but yürürken is more common and natural here.

There are two patterns you may see:

• yürürken
• yürüyorken

In many everyday sentences, Turkish prefers the shorter -rken form after the verb stem or aorist-type form:

• gelirken = while coming
• giderken = while going
• yürürken = while walking

Yürüyorken is understandable, but it often sounds heavier or less common in ordinary speech.

Usually, yes.

In Ben sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum, the natural understanding is:

• I like wearing shorts while I am walking on the beach

So the person doing the walking is the same person who likes wearing shorts.

This is very common in Turkish: the -ken clause usually connects naturally to the subject of the main clause unless something else makes it clear.

This is one of the most important grammar points in the sentence.

Giymek means to wear / to put on.

But after verbs like sevmek when you mean to like doing something, Turkish often uses a verbal noun form:

• giyme = wearing
• giymeyi = wearing (with the accusative ending)

So:

• şort giymeyi seviyorum = I like wearing shorts

This pattern is very common:

• kitap okumayı seviyorum = I like reading books
• müzik dinlemeyi seviyorum = I like listening to music
• yüzmeyi seviyorum = I like swimming

So giymeyi is not just the plain infinitive to wear. It is the action of wearing, treated like a noun.

The y is a buffer consonant.

Here is the structure:

• giyme = wearing
• -i = accusative ending

When Turkish adds a vowel-starting suffix to a word that already ends in a vowel, it often inserts y between them for smooth pronunciation.

So:

• giyme + i → giymeyi

You will see this in many other examples:

• okuma + ı → okumayı
• yapma + ı → yapmayı
• dinleme + i → dinlemeyi

Because in Turkish, when sevmek takes an action as its object, that action is commonly put in a nominalized form and marked as a definite object.

So:

• şort giymeyi seviyorum literally works like I like the act of wearing shorts

This same pattern appears with many similar verbs:

• Yüzmeyi seviyorum. = I like swimming.
• Şarkı söylemeyi seviyorum. = I like singing.
• Film izlemeyi seviyorum. = I like watching films.

For learners, it is useful to memorize this pattern as:

• Verb stem + -me/-ma + accusative + sevmek

Because şort here is being used in a general sense: wearing shorts.

• şort giymek = to wear shorts
• şortu giymek = to wear the shorts / those specific shorts

So in this sentence, the meaning is general, not about one specific pair of shorts.

Compare:

• Yazın şort giymeyi seviyorum. = I like wearing shorts in summer.
• Mavi şortu giymeyi seviyorum. = I like wearing the blue shorts.

The second one refers to a specific item.

Yes, giymek can mean both to put on and to wear, depending on context.

Examples:

• Montunu giydi. = He/She put on his/her coat.
• Bugün takım elbise giyiyor. = He/She is wearing a suit today.

In your sentence, şort giymeyi seviyorum, the natural meaning is I like wearing shorts, not just the moment of putting them on.

Both are possible, but they have slightly different feels.

• seviyorum often sounds like a current, natural personal preference: I like
• severim can sound more like a general habit, tendency, or statement about oneself: I do like / I tend to like

So:

• Şort giymeyi seviyorum. = I like wearing shorts.
• Şort giymeyi severim. = I like wearing shorts / I’m someone who likes wearing shorts.

In everyday speech, seviyorum is very common for talking about likes and preferences.

The basic order here is:

• Ben = subject
• sahilde yürürken = time/circumstantial clause
• şort giymeyi = object
• seviyorum = main verb

So the sentence is structured as:

I + while walking on the beach + wearing shorts + like

Turkish often puts the main verb at the end. Information like time, place, and circumstances usually comes before the final verb.

Yes, Turkish word order is flexible, but some versions sound more natural than others.

The original sentence is very natural:

• Ben sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum.

You could also say:

• Sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum.
• Şort giymeyi sahilde yürürken seviyorum.

But moving parts changes emphasis. The original version flows well and sounds neutral.

For learners, it is best to keep:

• background information first
• main object before the verb
• main verb at the end

Grammatically, giymek can sometimes mean to put on, but in this sentence the natural meaning is to wear shorts while walking on the beach.

Why? Because şort giymeyi sevmek is a common way to talk about a clothing preference, not the action of dressing at that exact moment.

So a native speaker would normally understand it as:

• I like wearing shorts when I walk on the beach

not:

• I like putting shorts on while I am walking

Either can work, depending on the English style.

• while walking on the beach is a very close structural match
• when I walk on the beach often sounds more natural in English

Turkish -ken can cover both ideas depending on context.

So sahilde yürürken can be understood as:

• while walking on the beach
• when I walk on the beach

Both express the same general situation here.

It normally expresses a general preference, not just something happening right now.

Even though seviyorum is formally a present continuous form, Turkish uses it very often for stable feelings and preferences:

• Kahveyi seviyorum. = I like coffee.
• Yüzmeyi seviyorum. = I like swimming.

So Ben sahilde yürürken şort giymeyi seviyorum means a general preference: this is something you like in that kind of situation.
