Questions & Answers about Sen ayıp davranıyorsun diye bilerek gelmeyecek.
How does diye mean "because" in this sentence?
While diye literally comes from the verb demek (to say) and means "saying", it is very often used after a complete, conjugated sentence to mean "because" or "on the grounds that." Here, Sen ayıp davranıyorsun diye means "because you act shamefully." It is a natural, conversational alternative to using için (like davrandığın için).
Why is the pronoun sen used if davranıyorsun already shows who is acting?
Turkish usually drops the subject pronoun, but this sentence has two different subjects: "you" in the diye clause (davranıyorsun) and "he/she" in the main clause (gelmeyecek). Keeping sen makes the sentence clearer and can also add a bit of emphasis, pointing the finger at "you".
Where does the word bilerek come from?
It is formed from the verb bilmek (to know) plus the ending -erek, which means "by doing" or "while doing." Literally meaning "knowingly" or "by knowing," bilerek is the standard Turkish word for "deliberately" or "on purpose."
