Questions & Answers about Geçen yılki deneyim yarınki beklentimi etkiliyor.
Why do yılki and yarınki just use -ki? Don't we normally need the locative suffix -da or -de before -ki?
Usually, yes! When making an adjective from a place, you use -daki or -deki (like masadaki - the one on the table). However, with time words, -ki attaches directly to the root word without the locative suffix. So yıl (year) becomes yılki (the one from that year) and yarın (tomorrow) becomes yarınki (tomorrow's).
Why is there an -i at the very end of beklentimi?
Let's break beklentimi down. The root word is beklenti (expectation). We add -m to make it "my expectation" (beklentim). Finally, we add the accusative case suffix -i because "my expectation" is the specific direct object receiving the action of the verb etkiliyor (affects).
The dictionary says "to affect" is etkilemek. Why is the verb spelled etkiliyor instead of "etkileyor"?
