Questions & Answers about Dün okuduğum yorum çok komikti.

How does okuduğum translate to "that I read"?
This uses the -dık pattern from our current lesson. It attaches to the verb root oku (to read). Because you are the one who read it, we add the possessive suffix -um (my). When we add a vowel to -dık, the k softens to a ğ. So oku + duk + um becomes okuduğum. Think of it literally as "my read thing".
Why does okuduğum come before yorum?
In English, we say "the review that I read," putting the description after the noun. In Turkish, any word or phrase that describes a noun acts like an adjective and must come before it. So, Turkish phrases it as "my-read review" (okuduğum yorum).
Why is the past tense ending on komikti a -ti instead of -di?
This is due to consonant harmony, a rule you learned earlier. The word komik (funny) ends in k, which is a hard (voiceless) consonant. When a suffix starting with d is attached to a hard consonant, the d changes to a hard t to match. Therefore, komik + di becomes komikti (was funny).
Does yorum always translate to "review"?
It can mean "review", but its most common everyday meaning is "comment" or "interpretation". If you ever use websites or social media apps in Turkish, you will constantly see yorum used for the comments section!
