Questions & Answers about Adam sadık ve romantikse, ben mutluyum.
Why is the "if" ending only on romantik and not on sadık?
When linking adjectives with ve (and), you only need to add the conditional suffix to the very last adjective. Here, the -se on romantikse applies the "if" meaning to both sadık (loyal) and romantik (romantic).
How exactly does the conditional ending work on romantikse?
The base word is romantik. Because it ends in a consonant, we attach the conditional suffix directly without a buffer letter. The last vowel in romantik is "i", so according to e-type vowel harmony, we use -se instead of -sa.
Where is the word for "if" in this sentence?
In Turkish, the "if" meaning is usually provided entirely by the suffix -se or -sa. You can put the word eğer (if) at the beginning of the sentence for extra emphasis, but it is completely optional and often dropped in everyday speech.
Why does mutluyum need a y but romantikse does not?
