Questions & Answers about İttiğim masa çok çizildi.
How does ittiğim translate to "that I pushed"?
It uses the participle suffix -dik, which connects a verb to a noun similar to using "that" or "which" in English. We then add a possessive ending to show who performed the action. So, it- (to push) + -dik + -im (my) creates a word that acts like an adjective, literally meaning "my pushed" or "that I pushed."
Why are there two 't's in ittiğim?
This happens because of consonant assimilation. The verb root it- ends in a hard, voiceless consonant (t). When you add the -dik suffix, its starting d must harden to a t to match the root, changing the suffix to -tik.
Where does the ğ in ittiğim come from?
This is consonant mutation. After we form ittik, we add the possessive vowel suffix -im (my). When a suffix starting with a vowel is attached to a word ending in k, that k softens into a ğ. Therefore, ittik + -im becomes ittiğim.
Why is the verb çizildi instead of çizdi?
