Questions & Answers about Yaklaşık bir iki saat yürüdükten sonra nemli bir yer bulduk.
Is it repetitive to use both yaklaşık (approximately) and bir iki (one or two) together?
It might feel a bit repetitive in English, but in Turkish, it is very natural and common! You can use yaklaşık together with sequential numbers like bir iki to strongly emphasize that the amount is just a rough estimate.
Why is it saat instead of the plural saatler if we are talking about up to two hours?
How does yürüdükten sonra mean "after walking"?
To say "after doing something" in Turkish, you attach the suffix -dik (or its vowel harmony variations like -dük) to the verb stem, followed by the "from" ending (-ten or -tan), and then the word sonra. So, yürü- (walk) + -dük + -ten sonra translates to "after walking."
How is the adjective nemli (damp) formed here?
It comes from the noun nem, which means "moisture" or "humidity." By adding the suffix -li, which means "with" or "having," it turns into the adjective nemli, meaning "damp" or "humid."
