Questions & Answers about Misafiri şehirde gezdireceksen, kültürümüzü tanıtmayı unutma!
How does gezdireceksen break down to mean "if you are going to show around"?
The root is gezdirmek (to show around). First, we add the future tense suffix -ecek to make gezdirecek (will show around). Then, we add the conditional suffix -se and the "you" personal ending -n to get gezdireceksen: "if you will show around" or "if you are planning to show around".
Is gezdirmek related to the verb gezmek?
Yes! Gezmek means "to stroll, wander, or travel". By adding the causative suffix -dir, it becomes gezdirmek, which literally means "to make someone stroll" or, more naturally, "to show someone around" or "to take someone for a walk".
Why does kültürümüzü have two -ü suffixes at the end?
The root is kültür (culture). The first suffix is -ümüz, which means "our" (kültürümüz = our culture). The final -ü is the accusative case suffix. We need the accusative case here because "our culture" is the specific direct object of the verb tanıtmayı (to introduce).
Why does the verb tanıtmak (to introduce) take the form tanıtmayı here?
