Questions & Answers about Hafta sonu müsait misin, festivale beraber gidelim mi?
How is gidelim mi formed to mean 'shall we go?'
The verb root is git- (to go). We add the optative suffix -elim to make it gidelim (let's go). When we add the question particle mi at the end, it turns the suggestion into a question: 'shall we go?'. Notice that the t in git- softens to a d because the suffix starts with a vowel.
Why is there no word for 'on' or 'at' in hafta sonu (on the weekend)?
In Turkish, many common time expressions do not need a locative suffix like -de or -da (in/on/at). Just like in English you can say 'this weekend' without a preposition, in Turkish you can just say hafta sonu to mean 'on the weekend'.
Why does festival have an -e at the end in festivale?
The -e is the dative suffix, which shows direction and translates to 'to'. Because we are talking about going to a place using the verb gitmek (to go), the destination needs this suffix, making it festivale (to the festival).
Why is misin written as a separate word from müsait?
