Questions & Answers about Onun görüşüne göre herkes tembel.
Why does the word görüşüne have so many suffixes before göre?
Let's break it down! görüş means "view". To say "his view", we add the possessive suffix -ü to match onun, making görüşü. Because the postposition göre (according to) always requires the dative case, we need to add the suffix -e. Whenever we add a case suffix right after a third-person possessive suffix, Turkish requires the buffer letter -n-. Putting it all together: görüş + ü + n + e.
Does the word görüş come from the verb görmek (to see)?
Exactly! The verb root gör- (see) gets the suffix -üş, which turns it into a noun describing the way an action is done. So a "way of seeing" naturally translates to a "view" or "opinion".
Since herkes means multiple people, why isn't tembel pluralized as tembeller?
Could I drop the word onun and just start the sentence with Görüşüne göre?
Yes, you definitely can! The possessive suffix -ü in görüşüne already shows that the view belongs to him (or her). Including onun just adds a little extra emphasis, like saying "According to his view".
