Questions & Answers about Baygın hasta herkesi tedirgin etti.

Why is baygın placed before hasta?

Because Turkish adjectives normally come before the noun they describe.

• baygın = unconscious, faint
• hasta = patient / sick person

So baygın hasta is a noun phrase meaning an unconscious patient or fainted patient. Turkish adjectives do not change form for number or gender.

Is hasta a noun or an adjective here?

Here it is most naturally a noun meaning patient.

That said, hasta can also be an adjective meaning sick in other contexts. Turkish often uses the same word as either a noun or an adjective depending on the sentence.

In this sentence:

• baygın modifies hasta
• so baygın hasta functions as the subject

Why is it herkesi instead of herkes?

Because herkesi is the direct object of the sentence, and Turkish usually marks a specific direct object with the accusative ending.

• herkes = everyone
• herkesi = everyone, as the object of the verb

Compare:

• Herkes geldi. = Everyone came.
• Herkesi gördüm. = I saw everyone.
