Questions & Answers about Borsada risk var ama hisse alacağım.
Why does alacağım have a ğ instead of a k for the future tense?
The base future tense suffix for almak is -acak making it alacak. However, when we add the personal ending for I which is -ım, the k is squeezed between two vowels. In Turkish, a k often softens into a ğ when this happens. So, alacak plus ım becomes alacağım.
The translation says "shares" (plural), so why is the Turkish word hisse singular?
In Turkish, when you refer to things in a general, unspecific category rather than a specific group of items, you usually leave the noun in the singular form. Since you are talking about buying shares in general, hisse does not need the plural suffix -ler.
What does the -da suffix do in borsada?
-da is the locative suffix, which translates to "in", "on", or "at". Borsa means "stock market", so adding -da turns it into borsada, meaning "in the stock market".
I thought almak meant "to take". Does it also mean "to buy"?
Yes, almak is a very common verb that means both "to take" and "to buy" depending on the context. In a store or a financial market, it usually means "to buy".
