Questions & Answers about Düğünden sonra ayrı bir eve taşındılar.
Why is it düğünden sonra and not just düğün sonra?
The word sonra (after) always requires the preceding noun to take the ablative case (the "from" case, -den/-dan). Because of this rule, you must say düğünden sonra (literally: "after from the wedding").
Why is the word order ayrı bir eve instead of bir ayrı eve?
Why does ev (house) have the -e ending here?
The verb taşınmak (to move) requires the dative case (-e/-a) to show your destination, because you are moving to somewhere. Therefore, ev takes the suffix and becomes eve (to the house).
Is the verb taşınmak (to move) related to taşımak (to carry)?
Yes! The -n suffix often makes a verb reflexive (doing the action to yourself). While taşımak means "to carry," taşınmak literally means "to carry oneself," which is the Turkish way of expressing that you are moving to a new home.
