Questions & Answers about Doktor, rüyalarımı ona nakletmemi istedi.
Why is nakletmemi written as a single word instead of nakil etmemi?
This is a perfect example of vowel elision in auxiliary verb compounds. The noun nakil (transfer or relay) loses its second vowel (i) when combined with the auxiliary verb etmek, becoming nakl-. Because a letter is dropped, Turkish orthography rules dictate that the compound must be written together as a single word: nakletmek.
Why do both rüyalarımı and nakletmemi take accusative case endings in the same sentence?
Each accusative ending belongs to a different verb's direct object. Rüyalarımı (my dreams) is the definite direct object of the inner verb nakletmek (to relay). Meanwhile, the entire action of relaying, nakletmemi (my relaying), serves as the definite direct object of the main verb istemek (to want).
Can you break down the exact suffixes attached to nakletmemi?
It breaks down as naklet-me-m-i. First is the verbal noun suffix -me (relaying). Next is the first-person singular possessive suffix -m indicating who is meant to do the action (my relaying). Finally, the accusative suffix -i marks this whole phrase as the direct object of the main verb istedi.
Since the subject is the doctor, shouldn't it be kendisine instead of ona?
