Questions & Answers about Bugün seninle sosyalleşmek istemiyorum.
How is the verb sosyalleşmek formed?
It is built from the adjective sosyal (social). The suffix -leş (or -laş) is added to nouns or adjectives to mean "to become" that thing. Adding the infinitive -mek gives us sosyalleşmek (to become social, or to socialize).
Why does "with you" translate to seninle instead of just senle?
When using the "with" postposition -(y)le / -(y)la (which is a shortened form of ile) with personal pronouns like ben, sen, o, biz, and siz, it must attach to the genitive (possessive) form of the pronoun. So you combine senin (your) + le to get seninle. You might hear senle in very casual speech, but seninle is the grammatically correct form.
I know the verb for "to want" is istemek. Why is it spelled isti- in istemiyorum?
This happens because of a rule called vowel narrowing. When a verb stem or negative suffix ends in a wide vowel (a or e) and is followed by the -yor suffix, that wide vowel gets squished into a narrow one (ı, i, u, or ü). Here, the negative suffix -me ends in e, so it narrows to i, giving us istemiyorum instead of istemeyorum.
Since we are currently learning present hypothetical conditionals, how would I change this to say "If I didn't want to socialize with you today..."?
