Questions & Answers about Neden yorgun hissediyorsun?
The lesson is about çünkü (because). How does neden fit into this?
Neden is the question word meaning "why" or "for what reason". If someone asks you a question with neden, you will usually start your answer with çünkü (because) to explain the reason.
Why is there a double 's' and a 'd' in hissediyorsun? I thought the helper verb was etmek.
You are right! This verb combines the noun his (feeling) and the helper verb etmek (to do/make). When they combine, the 's' doubles to make hissetmek. Then, when we add the present continuous suffix -iyor, the 't' softens into a 'd' because it is followed by a vowel, giving us hissediyorsun.
What exactly do the suffixes -iyor and -sun do at the end of the verb?
The suffix -iyor shows the present continuous tense, meaning the action is happening right now. The -sun at the very end is the personal suffix for "you" (singular). Together, they turn the verb into "you are feeling" or "you feel".
Could I say niçin instead of neden in this sentence?
Yes, you can! Niçin and neden both mean "why" and are often interchangeable. Neden is simply a bit more common in everyday spoken Turkish.
