Questions & Answers about Efsaneye göre, kahraman bu laneti kıracakmış.
What is the exact meaning of kıracakmış compared to just kıracak?
Kıracak is the standard future tense ("will break"). By adding the inferential suffix -mış to make kıracakmış, it means "is said to break" or "will apparently break." Since the speaker is recounting a legend, they are reporting what the story claims will happen in the future, rather than stating a guaranteed fact of their own.
Why is there a -ye at the end of efsaneye?
The postposition göre (according to) always requires the word before it to be in the dative case. Since efsane (legend) ends in a vowel, it needs the buffer letter -y- before the dative suffix -e, resulting in efsaneye göre.
Why does lanet (curse) have an -i at the end here?
The suffix -i is the accusative case marker, which marks the specific direct object of a verb. Because the sentence points to a specific curse using the word bu (bu laneti = this curse), it must take the accusative ending.
Shouldn't the 't' in lanet change to a 'd' when adding the -i suffix, like it does in gidiyorum?
Normally, a 't' between two vowels softens to a 'd' (consonant mutation). However, lanet is a loanword from Arabic, and many of these foreign origin words are exceptions to this rule. The 't' stays hard, which is why it remains laneti and not lanedi.
