Questions & Answers about Listeye senin adını da ekleyeyim.
Why is there an extra -y- in ekleyeyim?
The verb root is ekle (to add). To say 'let me add', we want to attach the optative ending -eyim. Since ekle ends in a vowel and -eyim starts with a vowel, we must insert the buffer letter -y-, resulting in ekleyeyim.
Break down the word adını. Why are there two endings attached to 'ad'?
The base word is ad (name). First, we add -ın to make it 'your name' (senin adın). Then, because 'your name' is the specific direct object being added to the list, it needs the accusative case. We add the accusative suffix -ı to get adını.
Why is it listeye instead of just liste?
The verb eklemek (to add) requires the dative case for the destination - the thing you are adding something to. Liste (list) takes the dative suffix -e. With the buffer -y-, it becomes listeye (to the list).
What is da doing here, and why is it a separate word?
da (or de) means 'too' or 'also' and is a particle, which means it is always written as a separate word rather than a suffix. It sits right after the word it emphasizes, so senin adını da means 'your name too'.
