Questions & Answers about Toplantı bitince hesap makinesi dosyasını e-posta ile gönderdim.
What does bitince mean, and how is it formed?
Bitince comes from the verb bitmek, meaning to end or to be finished.
Breakdown:
- bit- = the verb stem
- -ince = a suffix meaning when, once, or after
So toplantı bitince means when the meeting ended, once the meeting was over, or after the meeting ended, depending on context.
Why is there no separate word for I in the sentence?
In Turkish, the subject is often built into the verb, so you do not need to say ben unless you want emphasis.
Here, gönderdim already means I sent.
Breakdown:
- gönder- = send
- -di = past tense
- -m = I
So Turkish does not need a separate pronoun the way English usually does.
