Questions & Answers about Terapi aldıkça o travmadan kurtulabilirsin.
How does the -dıkça suffix in aldıkça affect the meaning of the sentence?
The suffix -dıkça adds the meaning of "as long as" or "the more [an action happens]." Here, added to the verb root al- (to take), aldıkça means "as long as you receive" or "the more you receive." It shows that recovering from the trauma is proportional to getting therapy.
Why is the verb almak (to take) used with therapy here?
In English, we usually say "go to therapy" or "receive therapy." In Turkish, the standard natural pairing (collocation) is terapi almak, which literally means "to take therapy."
Why is the ablative case suffix -dan added to travma?
The verb kurtulmak means "to get rid of," "to escape," or "to be saved." In Turkish, you always escape from something. Therefore, kurtulmak strictly requires the ablative (from) case, making it travmadan kurtulmak (to get rid of the trauma).
What suffixes make up the verb kurtulabilirsin?
It is built on the verb root kurtul- (to get rid of). Then we add -abil (the ability suffix for "can"), followed by -ir (the aorist tense suffix, used here for a general statement of possibility), and finally -sin (the "you" personal ending).
