Questions & Answers about Kuaför saçımı kurutup fön çekecek.
Why does kurutup end in -up?
It uses the -(y)ıp connecting suffix on the verb root kurut- (to dry). Because of 4-way vowel harmony, the suffix becomes -up. This suffix connects two actions done by the same subject in sequence, meaning "to dry and...".
How do we know the drying will happen in the future? There is no future suffix on kurutup.
That is a key feature of the -(y)ıp suffix! It links verbs together so that only the very last verb in the sentence needs a tense marker. Because the final verb çekecek is in the future tense, that future meaning automatically applies to kurutup as well.
Why is the word for "my hair" written as saçımı instead of just saçım?
saçım means "my hair". However, because the hair is the specific direct object receiving the action (it is the thing being dried), it needs the accusative case ending. We add the vowel -ı to the end, making it saçımı.
What does the phrase fön çekecek literally mean?
fön refers to a blow-dryer (a word borrowed from German), and çekmek literally means "to pull" or "to draw". Together, fön çekmek is the standard Turkish idiom for blow-drying and styling hair.
