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.
Why is there a comma immediately after Sensörler?
In Turkish, a comma is frequently used to separate the subject from the rest of the sentence, especially when the subject is far from the verb or to prevent ambiguity. Here, it clearly marks that the sensors are the subject doing the feeling.
