Questions & Answers about Göbeğin büyüyor olacak ve sen kel bir ihtiyar oluyor olacaksın.
Why is the verb olmak used twice in oluyor olacaksın?
The first oluyor is the main verb meaning 'becoming' in the present continuous form. The second part, olacaksın, acts as the future auxiliary 'will be' with the 'you' personal ending -sın. Together they create the future continuous tense: 'you will be becoming'.
Why does olacak not have a personal suffix in the first clause, but ends in -sın in the second?
In the first half of the sentence, the subject is göbeğin (your belly), which is a third-person singular subject ('it'). Therefore, the auxiliary olacak takes no personal ending. In the second half, the subject is sen (you), which requires the second-person singular ending -sın on the auxiliary.
Why is it kel bir ihtiyar instead of bir kel ihtiyar?
What is the root word of göbeğin and why did it change?
The root word is göbek (belly). When the vowel-starting possessive suffix -in (your) is added, the hard consonant k softens to a ğ. This is a standard consonant mutation rule that turns göbek into göbeğin.
