Questions & Answers about Kadın anlayışlı ve romantikse, adam âşık oluyor.
Why doesn't anlayışlı have the -se ending like romantikse?
When you have a list of adjectives connected by ve (and) that apply to the same subject, you only need to add the conditional ending to the very last one. So, anlayışlı ve romantikse means 'if she is understanding and romantic.'
How is the word romantikse formed?
It is the adjective romantik (romantic) plus the conditional suffix -se (if). Because romantik ends in a consonant, we don't need the buffer letter -y- that you would see in a word ending in a vowel. The suffix follows vowel harmony, becoming -se because of the front vowel 'i' in romantik.
Why is 'falls in love' translated as âşık oluyor?
Âşık means 'in love.' To express 'to fall in love,' Turkish uses the helper verb olmak (to become/to be). So âşık oluyor literally translates to 'becomes in love.'
Why does the sentence use the present continuous ending -uyor for a general 'if' statement?
In English, we usually use the simple present for general facts like 'the man falls in love'. In Turkish, the present continuous suffix -yor is frequently used for general habits, immediate reactions, and everyday facts, not just for actions happening right this second.
