Questions & Answers about Tarhanayı sıcak suyla karıştırınca çorba hemen hazır oluyor.
Why is it tarhanayı and not just tarhana?
Because tarhanayı has the accusative ending -yı.
In Turkish, a direct object often takes the accusative when it is specific/definite. Here, you are talking about the tarhana that you are mixing, not tarhana in a vague general sense.
- tarhana = tarhana
- tarhanayı = the tarhana / tarhana as a specific object
The -y- is a buffer consonant added because the noun ends in a vowel.
What does suyla mean, and why is there a y in it?
Suyla means with water.
It comes from:
- su = water
- -la / -le = with, by means of
So you would expect su + la, but Turkish inserts a buffer y between two vowels:
- su + yla → suyla
This is very common in Turkish when a suffix beginning with a vowel-related form is attached to a word ending in a vowel.
