Questions & Answers about Nankör kız çantayı aldı o alış, bir daha getirmedi.
How exactly does the phrase aldı o alış create the meaning 'and that was that'?
This is a common idiomatic structure for irreversible actions. It combines the past tense verb (aldı, took) with the pronoun o (that) and the verbal noun form of the same verb (alış, taking). Literally it means 'she took, that taking,' but it implies the action was final and the expected follow-up (like returning the bag) never happened.
Is it possible to use a different pronoun like bu instead of o in this idiom?
No, the idiom is strictly fixed with the pronoun o. You will always see it as Verb(Past) + o + Verb-(y)Iş, like gitti o gidiş (he left and never came back) or uyudu o uyuyuş (he fell asleep and stayed asleep). Changing it to bu breaks the set phrase.
Why isn't there a conjunction like ve (and) connecting aldı o alış to the second half of the sentence?
In Turkish, it is very common to connect sequential or related clauses simply by placing them side by side, separated by a comma. Adding ve here would sound unnatural to a native speaker. The comma after alış smoothly links the finality of the action to the consequence (bir daha getirmedi).
Does bir daha always mean 'never again'?
