Questions & Answers about Pratik yapmayan oyuncular sahnede cesaretlenmeyecekmiş.
How is the verb cesaretlenmek formed from the noun cesaret?
It uses the suffix -lAn, which derives a verb from a noun or adjective to mean acquiring a state or becoming. By attaching it to cesaret (courage), we get cesaretlenmek (to take courage or become courageous).
Can you break down the suffixes attached to the verb in cesaretlenmeyecekmiş?
The stem is cesaretlen-. First comes the negative suffix -me, then the future tense -yecek (will), and finally the hearsay/evidential suffix -miş (apparently / it is said). Together, they mean apparently they will not take courage.
Why do we use the -(y)An suffix in yapmayan instead of a -dIk relative clause?
Because the noun being modified (oyuncular) is the subject of the action (they are the ones not practicing). The -(y)An suffix is the subject participle, used when the modified noun is the doer of the verb. The word breaks down as yap-ma-yan (do - not - who).
The subject oyuncular is plural. Why doesn't the verb have a plural suffix like cesaretlenmeyeceklermiş?
In Turkish, if a plural human subject is explicitly stated in the sentence (like oyuncular), adding the plural suffix -lAr to the verb is optional. Leaving it off is very common and perfectly grammatical.
