Questions & Answers about Bu markanın yeni kahvesini içip tadını çok beğendim.
What does the -ip suffix in içip do?
The -ip suffix (which changes to -ıp, -up, or -üp depending on vowel harmony) is a very common way to connect two actions done by the same person, meaning 'and'. Instead of repeating the tense and saying içtim ve beğendim (I drank and I liked), you just attach -ip to the first verb stem: içip beğendim (I drank and liked).
Why is it kahvesini instead of just kahveyi?
Because the coffee belongs to the brand. This forms a possessive phrase: markanın kahvesi (the brand's coffee). Because you are doing an action to this specific coffee, it needs the accusative case. You add the accusative suffix -ni to the end, where the -n- acts as a mandatory buffer letter after possessive suffixes.
Why does tadını have a 'd' when the dictionary word for taste is 'tat'?
This is consonant mutation. When a Turkish word ends in a hard consonant like 't' and receives a suffix starting with a vowel, that consonant often softens. Here, tat (taste) plus the possessive suffix -ı (its) becomes tadı. Then, we add the buffer -n- and the accusative -nı because the taste is the direct object of what you liked.
Where is the word for 'its' in the second part of the sentence?
It is built right into tadını. The first -ı means 'its' (referring to the coffee's taste). You could say onun tadını (its taste), but Turkish usually drops pronouns like onun when the possessive suffix on the noun already makes the owner perfectly clear.
