Questions & Answers about Bu ip seni taşıyacak kadar sağlam.
How does taşıyacak kadar translate to "enough to carry"?
This uses the structure verb + -(y)AcAk kadar, which shows a degree or limit. The verb stem taşı- (to carry) gets the future suffix -yacak, followed by kadar (as much as / to the extent of). Literally, it means "to the extent that it will carry", which we naturally translate as "enough to carry" in English.
Why is it seni instead of just sen?
Even though taşıyacak is being used to build an adverbial phrase here, it still comes from the verb taşımak (to carry), which takes a direct object. Because the object being carried ("you") is a specific person, the pronoun sen takes the accusative case ending -i, becoming seni.
Why does the phrase seni taşıyacak kadar come right before sağlam?
Where is the verb "is" in this sentence? Could I say sağlamdır?
