Questions & Answers about Sağ gözünüz ağrırsa lütfen bir doktora gidin.
How is the word ağrırsa formed to mean 'if it aches'?
It uses the pattern you are currently learning: Aorist tense + conditional suffix. The verb root is ağrı- (to ache). First, we add the Aorist tense marker -r (used for habits or general truths) to make ağrır (it aches). Finally, we add the conditional suffix -sa (if) to get ağrırsa (if it aches).
Why do we use gözünüz and gidin instead of gözün and git?
The sentence uses the formal or plural 'you'. The word gözünüz means 'your eye' using the formal/plural possessive suffix, and gidin is the formal/plural command for going. If this were spoken to a close friend or a younger person, it would be Sağ gözün ağrırsa lütfen bir doktora git.
Why does git- change to gid- in gidin?
This is a case of consonant mutation, which you have seen in earlier lessons. When the verb root git- (to go) gets a suffix that starts with a vowel, like the formal command suffix -in, the hard t softens to a d. So, git plus -in becomes gidin.
Why is there an -a at the end of doktora?
