Questions & Answers about Otelde aldığımız hizmetten hiç memnun değilim.
How do we get 'that we received' from aldığımız?
This uses the new pattern you're learning: the object participle -dık (meaning 'that/which') attached to the verb base al (receive/take). Then we add the possessive ending -ımız (our) to show who received it. So, aldığımız acts like an adjective meaning 'our-received', modifying the word hizmet (service).
Why does the -dık ending change to a ğ in aldığımız?
This happens because of consonant mutation. When you add a vowel ending like -ımız to the suffix -dık, the hard k at the end softens into a ğ to make it easier to pronounce.
The English translation says 'pleased with', so why does hizmetten use the 'from' ending (-ten)?
In English, we say we are pleased with something, but in Turkish, the adjective memnun (pleased/satisfied) always demands the ablative case (-dan/-den/-tan/-ten). You have to think of it as being pleased from the service (hizmetten).
How does hiç work in this sentence?
hiç can mean 'ever' or 'any' on its own, but when you pair it with a negative word like değilim (I am not), the combination means 'not at all'. Therefore, hiç memnun değilim translates exactly to 'I am not pleased at all'.
