Questions & Answers about Bu şık kıyafetleri deneyerek bedenini bulmalısın.
How is deneyerek formed to mean "by trying"?
It comes from the verb denemek (to try / try on). We drop the -mek to get the root dene. Because dene ends in a vowel and the "by doing" suffix -erek starts with one, we need the buffer letter -y- in between. Together, dene + y + erek means "by trying" or "while trying".
Why do both kıyafetleri and bedenini end with the accusative -i suffix?
Because they are the specific direct objects of two different verbs in the sentence! Kıyafetleri (these stylish clothes) is the object of the action deneyerek (by trying them on). Bedenini (your size) is the object of the main verb bulmalısın (you must find it).
Doesn't beden usually mean "body"? How does bedenini mean "your size"?
Yes, beden literally means "body", but in the context of shopping and clothes, it is the standard word for "size". To get bedenini, we start with beden, add -in (your) to make bedenin (your size), and finally add the accusative -i.
