Questions & Answers about Sen balık ye ve güzel bir film izle.
How does the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order work here with two actions?
Why don't the verbs ye and izle have any tense endings on them?
These verbs are in the command (imperative) form. When you give a direct instruction to one person (the informal "you"), you just use the bare root of the verb in Turkish. So, the dictionary verb yemek (to eat) becomes just ye, and izlemek (to watch) becomes izle.
Why is the word order güzel bir film instead of bir güzel film?
If the command verbs already imply "you", do we need to include Sen at the beginning?
No, it is optional! Because the command form clearly tells us who is doing the action, Sen isn't strictly necessary. Including it here just adds a little emphasis, like saying "As for you, just eat fish and watch a good movie."
