Questions & Answers about Hava sıcak olduğu için bugün şort giyiyorum; akşam serinlerse hırka alacağım.
Because Turkish often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
- giyiyorum = I am wearing / I’m wearing
- alacağım = I will take / I’ll take
Both verbs clearly show 1st person singular, so ben is unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis.
It comes from olmak (to be / become).
A simplified breakdown is:
- ol- = be / become
- -duk / -dık / -duğu / -diği type form = a verbal adjective / nominalized form
- olduğu = roughly that it is / its being
In sıcak olduğu için, the whole phrase means something like:
- because it is hot
- more literally: because of its being hot
You do not need to translate it word-for-word every time, but it helps to recognize that this is a very common Turkish pattern.
