Questions & Answers about Sabah rutinim çok uzun, hiçbir zaman enerjik hissetmiyorum.
How does the possessive work in the phrase sabah rutinim?
Sabah rutini (morning routine) is a compound noun where the second word gets the compound suffix -i. When you want to say "my morning routine", the first person possessive suffix -im replaces the third person compound suffix -i. So, sabah rutini directly becomes sabah rutinim.
Why does hissetmiyorum have a double 's'?
The verb "to feel" is a combination of the noun his (feeling) and the helper verb etmek (to do/make). When a short loanword ending in a consonant (like his) connects to a helper verb starting with a vowel, the final consonant doubles. Therefore, his + etmek becomes hissetmek.
If hiçbir zaman means "never", why is the verb hissetmiyorum also negative? Doesn't that make a double negative?
In English, two negatives make a positive, but in Turkish, negative words like hiçbir (none) or hiçbir zaman (never) require the verb to be negative as well. You must use the negative verb suffix (in this case, -mi-) to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Why use the present continuous -yor- in hissetmiyorum if this is about a general routine?
In English, we strictly use the simple present for habits ("I never feel..."). In Turkish, you could use the aorist (simple present) tense and say hissetmem. However, it is extremely common in everyday Turkish to use the present continuous tense (-yor) for ongoing habits and personal routines, just like in this sentence.
