Questions & Answers about Sen tahterevalliden düşmüşsün ve çok ağlamışsın.
Why is the translation 'Apparently you fell' instead of just 'You fell'?
The verbs düşmüşsün and ağlamışsın use the -miş past tense suffix (the hearsay or evidential past). Turkish uses this when you are talking about something you didn't see with your own eyes, like repeating a story someone else told you. In English, we often add words like 'apparently' or 'I heard' to show this.
Why is there a -den at the end of tahterevalliden?
The suffix -den means 'from' or 'off'. In Turkish, the verb düşmek (to fall) requires you to state where you are falling from using this suffix. So tahterevalliden düşmüşsün literally means 'you fell from the seesaw'.
Why does the past tense suffix change from -müş in düşmüşsün to -mış in ağlamışsın?
This happens because the -miş past tense suffix follows four-way vowel harmony. Since the only vowel in the root düş is ü, the suffix becomes -müş. For the root ağla, the last vowel is a, so the suffix becomes -mış.
Do we really need the word Sen at the beginning if the verbs already end in -sün and -sın?
