Questions & Answers about Bence bu olgunca bir karar değil.
How does bence mean "in my opinion"?
The word bence is made of the pronoun ben (I) and the suffix -ce. This suffix is often used to express a point of view or perspective. So, bence translates to "according to me" or "in my opinion". You can also add it to sen (you) to make sence (in your opinion).
What is the -ca doing at the end of olgunca?
It is the same suffix as in bence, but here it takes the form -ca because of vowel harmony with the adjective olgun (mature). When attached to an adjective, it means "rather", "quite", or "in a [adjective] way". Here, olgunca means "rather mature" or "mature-like".
Why is the word bir placed after olgunca instead of before it?
Why is the sentence negated with değil instead of a negative verb suffix?
The separate word değil (not) is used because this is a "noun sentence" that simply states what something is or isn't. Because there is no action verb in this sentence to attach a negative -me or -ma suffix to, you must use değil at the end.
