Questions & Answers about Çocuk ağlıyorsa anne onu dışarı çıkarıyor.
How does ağlıyorsa mean "if the child is crying"?
This word combines the present continuous suffix -ıyor (is doing) with the conditional suffix -sa (if). The root is ağlamak (to cry). First, the final a changes to ı before the -yor suffix, making ağlıyor (is crying). Then, we add -sa to the end to get ağlıyorsa (if he is crying).
Why is it onu instead of just o?
Onu is the accusative (direct object) form of o (he/she/it). Because the mother is taking him outside, "he" receives the action of the verb, requiring the accusative case. The -n- is a buffer letter between the root o and the accusative suffix -u.
Why doesn't dışarı (outside) have a "to" suffix here? Shouldn't it be dışarıya?
In Turkish, pure direction words like dışarı (outside), içeri (inside), and aşağı (down) often don't need a direction suffix when paired with movement verbs. While dışarıya çıkarıyor is also grammatically correct, leaving the suffix off and just saying dışarı çıkarıyor is very common and natural.
I know the verb çıkmak means "to go out". Why does this sentence use çıkarıyor?
