Questions & Answers about Siz gelirseniz, babaannem size de börek ve ayran ikram eder.
Why does the sentence use siz instead of sen?
Siz is the you form used for:
- more than one person: you all
- polite/formal singular: you in a respectful way
So this sentence could mean either:
- speaking politely to one person, or
- speaking to several people
The verb ending in gelirseniz matches siz.
What does gelirseniz mean, and how is it built?
Gelirseniz means if you come.
It can be broken down like this:
- gel- = come
- -ir- = aorist/general-future marker
- -se- = conditional if
- -niz = you plural/formal
So:
- gelirseniz = if you come
This is a very common Turkish pattern for if-clause + personal ending.
Why is it gelirseniz and not something like gelirsen?
Because the subject is siz, not sen.
Compare:
- sen gelirsen = if you come
- siz gelirseniz = if you come / if you all come
The personal ending has to agree with the pronoun.
