Questions & Answers about Soğuk su her yeri kaplayacak.
Why is there a 'y' in kaplayacak?
The verb root is kapla- (to cover), which ends in the vowel a. The future tense suffix for this vowel harmony is -acak. Because Turkish doesn't allow two vowels to be next to each other, we insert the buffer letter y between them, making it kaplayacak.
Why is the word for "everywhere" written as her yeri instead of just her yer?
The phrase her yer (every place) is the direct object receiving the action of the verb. Because "everywhere" is considered a specific location being covered, it takes the accusative case suffix -i.
Why doesn't the verb kaplayacak have a personal suffix at the end?
The subject of the sentence is soğuk su (cold water), which is a third-person singular subject (it). In the future tense, just like in most other tenses, the "he/she/it" form does not take any extra personal suffix.
Does her yer literally translate to "everywhere"?
Literally, her means "every" and yer means "place". When combined, her yer is the standard and most natural way to say "everywhere" in Turkish.
