Questions & Answers about Kızım, pastanın etrafına mavi kurdele bağlamış; davetliler görünce çok beğendi.
What does kızım mean here, and what is the -ım ending?
Kızım is kız + -ım, where -ım is the 1st person singular possessive ending: my.
So:
- kız = girl / daughter
- kızım = my daughter
In this sentence, the natural reading is my daughter.
A small extra point: the comma after kızım is a little unusual if it is simply the subject. In very careful writing, many people would write Kızım pastanın etrafına... with no comma. With the comma, it can sound like a pause for emphasis, or sometimes like direct address. But here most learners will understand it as my daughter.
Why is it pastanın etrafına? Why not just one word for around the cake?
