Questions & Answers about Ona bütün duygularımı naklettiğimi hatırlıyorum.
Why is naklettiğimi written as a single word, and what is its root?
It comes from the Arabic loanword nakil (transfer/relay) and the auxiliary verb etmek (to do). When they combine, the second vowel 'i' in nakil drops out (vowel elision), giving us naklet-. Because a letter is lost during this combination, Turkish spelling rules dictate that the noun and auxiliary verb must be joined together into a single word: nakletmek.
Could you break down the suffixes in the word naklettiğimi?
Sure! The verb stem is naklet-. To form the object clause "that I relayed", we add the -DIK participle, giving us naklettik-. Next, we add the 1st person possessive suffix -im (my), which causes the final k to soften to ğ (naklettiğim). Finally, because this whole clause is the direct object of the main verb (I remember that...), we add the accusative case marker -i, resulting in naklettiğimi.
Both duygularımı and naklettiğimi end with an accusative case marker. Why is it used twice?
They are the direct objects of two completely different verbs! duygularımı (my emotions) takes the accusative -ı because it is the specific direct object of the verb nakletmek (I relayed my emotions). Meanwhile, naklettiğimi takes the accusative -i because the entire clause is the specific direct object of the main verb hatırlıyorum (I remember the fact that I relayed them).
