Questions & Answers about Kütüphanede bağırma.
Why is the negative ending -ma here instead of -me?
The negative suffix for commands is either -ma or -me based on 2-way vowel harmony. The root verb is bağır (to shout). Since its last vowel is the back vowel ı, it takes -ma.
What is the -de attached to kütüphane?
That is the locative case suffix, which means 'in', 'at', or 'on'. Kütüphane means 'library'. Because its last vowel is a front vowel (e), it takes the front-vowel version -de to mean 'in the library'.
Is bağırma used for telling one person or multiple people?
It is used for just one person in an informal setting. If you were addressing a group of people, or speaking formally, you would add the plural or formal ending to make it bağırmayın.
How do I pronounce the ğ in bağırma?
The letter ğ (soft g) is silent, but it lengthens the vowel right before it. In bağırma, it makes the a sound slightly longer, blending smoothly into the ı sound.
