Questions & Answers about Mülakatta onun tavrı ve bakışı çok etkileyici.
How does the word bakışı mean "his gaze" in this sentence?
It is built from the verb root bak- (to look). We add the manner suffix -ış to create the noun bakış, meaning "a way of looking" or "gaze". Finally, we add the 3rd person possessive suffix -ı to show it belongs to him (onun).
The dictionary says the word for attitude is tavır. Why is it spelled tavrı here?
This happens because of a rule called vowel drop. When certain two-syllable words get a suffix starting with a vowel, they lose the vowel in their second syllable. So, tavır plus the possessive -ı becomes tavrı instead of "tavırı".
Why does onun (his) apply to both nouns?
In Turkish possessive phrases linked by ve (and), you only need to state the owner once at the beginning. Because both tavrı and bakışı have the possessive suffix -ı, they are both clearly linked back to onun.
Why does mülakatta (at the interview) use -ta instead of the regular locative suffix -da?
