Questions & Answers about O asla gereksiz şeyler almayacak.
Why is there a -y- in almayacak?
The verb root is al (buy). To make it negative, we add -ma. The future tense suffix is -acak. Because Turkish avoids putting two vowels right next to each other, we insert the buffer letter -y- between -ma and -acak, making it almayacak.
If asla means 'never', why is the verb almayacak also negative?
How is the word gereksiz built?
It comes from the noun gerek, which means a need or necessity. The suffix -siz means 'without' (similar to '-less' in English). Together, gereksiz translates to 'without need' or 'unnecessary'.
How do we know almak means 'buy' here instead of 'take'?
The verb almak can mean both 'to take' and 'to buy'. You just have to figure it out from the context. 'Buying unnecessary things' is a very natural and common phrase, making 'buy' the best translation here.
