Questions & Answers about Sensörler, simülasyonda dokunduğunu hissediyor.
How does dokunduğunu translate to 'what you touch'?
It uses the object participle suffix -dık (which becomes -duğ here due to vowel harmony and consonant softening). Added to the verb stem dokun- (touch), it forms a noun meaning 'the thing that is touched'. Then we add the possessive -un (your) and the accusative case -u (because it is the direct object of the verb), giving us 'the thing that you touch'.
Could dokunduğunu also mean 'what he/she/it touches'?
Yes! Without a specific pronoun like senin (your) or onun (his/her/its) in front of it, dokunduğunu can mean either 'what you touch' or 'what he/she/it touches'. This is because the 2nd-person (-un) and 3rd-person (-u) possessive endings, when combined with the accusative case, result in the exact same spelling here. Context tells us it means 'you'.
Why is hissediyor spelled with a double 's' and a 'd' when the dictionary form is hissetmek?
The verb is a combination of the noun his (feeling) and the helper verb etmek (to do). When these combine into a single word, the 's' doubles to form hissetmek. Then, when the continuous vowel suffix -iyor is added, the 't' at the end of etmek softens to a 'd', resulting in hissediyor.
