How is the "keep on doing" structure formed in gelip duruyorum?
We take the verb root gel, add the connecting suffix -ip (following vowel harmony), and then add the verb durmak (to stand/stop) conjugated in the present continuous tense as duruyorum. Together, the structure Verb + -(y)ıp durmak creates the meaning of doing an action repeatedly or continuously.
Why is the word for "ignore" written as görmezden gelip?
The standard Turkish phrase for "to ignore" is the idiom görmezden gelmek, which literally translates to "to come from not seeing" (gör-mez-den). When applying the continuous repetition grammar to a compound verb like this, the -ip durmak structure only attaches to the final verb. Therefore, gelmek changes into gelip durmak.
Why does profilleri end with the -i suffix?
The verb phrase görmezden gelmek takes a direct object. Because you are ignoring specific profiles (translated as "the" anonymous profiles), the plural noun profiller requires the accusative case suffix -i to mark it as the specific direct object, resulting in profilleri.
