Questions & Answers about Bu mağara tehlikeli, fenerini düşürmemelisin.
How is the word düşürmemelisin built?
It starts with the verb root düşür (drop). Next is the negative suffix -me (not), followed by the obligation suffix -meli (must / should). Finally, the personal suffix -sin makes it "you". Altogether: you must not drop.
Why is the word fenerini and not just fenerin?
The word for flashlight is fener. When you add -in, you get fenerin (your flashlight). We add the extra -i at the end because it is the accusative case suffix. We need the accusative here because "your flashlight" is the specific direct object you must not drop.
I learned that "to fall" is düşmek. Is düşürmek related?
Exactly! Düşmek means "to fall", but adding the suffix -ür makes it "to cause to fall" or "to drop" (düşürmek).
Why doesn't Bu mağara tehlikeli need a word or suffix for "is"?
In the present tense, third-person subjects (he, she, it, or in this case, "this cave") usually don't need a visible "to be" suffix. You just place the subject and the adjective side by side.
