Questions & Answers about Onun rahat oturuşu özgüven gösteriyor.
How does oturuşu translate to "his way of sitting"?
It starts with the verb root otur- (to sit). The lesson's suffix -uş is added to mean "the manner of sitting" or "posture". Finally, the possessive suffix -u is added to mean "his" way of sitting, matching the pronoun onun.
Why do we use the adjective rahat (relaxed) here instead of an adverb?
Because the suffix -uş turns the verb into a noun. Since oturuş is a noun, we describe it with an adjective. So, rahat oturuşu literally means "his relaxed way of sitting".
What are the parts of the word özgüven?
It is a combination of öz (self or core) and güven (trust or confidence). Put together, it means "self-confidence".
Why doesn't özgüven have an accusative suffix (like özgüveni) since it's the object of the verb?
We only use the accusative case for specific direct objects. Because he is showing self-confidence as a general concept rather than a specific item, it stays in its bare, dictionary form.
