Questions & Answers about Bu adayın giyinişini değerlendirmek istiyorum.
How does the word giyinişini break down to mean "manner of dressing"?
It starts with the verb giyinmek (to dress oneself). We drop the -mek and add the "manner" suffix -iş from this lesson to get giyiniş (way of dressing). After that, it gets a possessive suffix -i (his/her), a buffer letter -n-, and an accusative case suffix -i to show it is the direct object of the sentence.
Why are there two -i suffixes at the end of giyinişini?
The first -i is the possessive suffix, meaning "his/her" (referring to the candidate). The second -i is the accusative case marker, which is required because "the candidate's way of dressing" is the specific direct object being evaluated. The -n- in the middle is simply a buffer letter used to separate the two vowels.
Why does the word for candidate (aday) have the -ın suffix?
It is the genitive case, which shows possession, similar to adding an apostrophe-s in English. It links adayın (the candidate's) with the possessive suffix on giyinişi (his/her way of dressing) to build the complete compound phrase.
Why is the root verb giyin- instead of just giy-?
Giymek means "to wear" or "to put on" a specific item of clothing, like a coat. Giyinmek means "to dress oneself" as a general action. Since we are evaluating the candidate's overall style of dressing themselves, the sentence builds on the reflexive root giyin-.
