Questions & Answers about Beslenme hakkında okusan faydalı şeyler öğrenirsin.
Why is the verb okusan instead of okursan?
The word okursan uses the aorist tense before the conditional to make a Type 1 conditional (If you read, as a real possibility). Here we use okusan, which attaches the conditional suffix -sa directly to the verb root oku followed by the personal suffix -n. This forms a Type 2 hypothetical conditional, meaning 'If you were to read' or 'If you read' in a theoretical sense.
How does öğrenirsin mean 'you would learn'? I thought the aorist was for general facts or habits.
While the aorist tense (-ir) is often used for general habits or facts, it is also the standard way to express 'would' in the main clause of a hypothetical conditional sentence. Because the first half of the sentence sets up a hypothetical scenario with okusan, öğrenirsin translates to 'you would learn' rather than just 'you learn'.
How is the word beslenme (nutrition) formed?
It is built from the verb beslemek (to feed). It takes the reflexive/passive suffix -n to become beslenmek (to feed oneself, to be nourished), and then the verbal noun suffix -me is added to make it a noun meaning 'nutrition' or 'diet'.
Why doesn't beslenme take a suffix before hakkında?
