Questions & Answers about Orada bildiklere hasret kaldım ve duygulandım.
Why doesn't bildiklere have a possessive ending if it uses the -dIk participle?
Because it is lexicalized, meaning it has frozen into a regular, standalone adjective. A standard object participle needs a possessive ending to show who does the action (like bildiğim for 'the things that I know'), but bildik simply means 'familiar' or 'known' on its own. Here it is used as a noun, made plural with -ler, and given a case ending.
Is bildik used similarly to tanıdık?
Yes! Both are lexicalized -dIk participles you are learning in this lesson. Tanıdık (from tanımak) means an 'acquaintance' or recognized person, while bildik (from bilmek) means 'familiar' or 'known' things or people. Both function as everyday adjectives or nouns without needing possessive suffixes.
Why does bildiklere end with the dative suffix -e?
It is because of the verb phrase hasret kaldım (I longed for). The phrase hasret kalmak literally means 'to remain in longing,' and it requires the dative case (-e or -a) on the target you are longing for, showing the direction of your feelings.
How is the verb duygulandım formed?
