Questions & Answers about Günümüzde sadelik çok önemli; kimse özensiz görünmek istemiyor.
This lesson is about the conjunctions aksine and tersine. Could we use one of them to connect these two clauses?
No, because the two clauses aren't contradicting each other. Aksine and tersine mean "on the contrary" and are used for complete opposition. Here, the second clause supports the first (simplicity is important because no one wants to look sloppy), so a conjunction like çünkü (because) would be a much better fit.
How is the word özensiz (unkempt) formed?
Its root is özen, which means "care" or "attention." Adding the suffix -siz (without) turns it into an adjective literally meaning "careless" or "lacking attention." When talking about personal style, it translates perfectly to "sloppy" or "unkempt."
What does the -ün suffix do in the verb görünmek?
It changes the active verb görmek (to see) into the reflexive/passive verb görünmek (to be seen, to appear, to look). This is why özensiz görünmek translates to "to look unkempt" rather than "to see unkempt."
Why does kimse pair with the negative verb istemiyor? Doesn't that mean "nobody doesn't want"?
Unlike English, Turkish requires a negative verb ending when using negative pronouns like kimse (nobody/anybody) or hiçbir şey (nothing/anything). Kimse ... istemiyor correctly translates as "nobody wants." Using a positive verb with kimse would be grammatically incorrect.
