Questions & Answers about Farz et ki evde yangın çıktı, sigorta zararı kapsar mı?
Why doesn't the verb çıktı take a conditional suffix like -sa/-se?
The phrase farz et ki (suppose that / assume that) already creates the conditional, hypothetical scenario. Because you are literally saying "Make the assumption that [statement]", the verb inside that statement just takes a normal tense rather than needing the -sa/-se conditional mood.
Why use the past tense çıktı for a hypothetical situation that hasn't happened?
When setting up a hypothetical scenario with phrases like farz et ki or diyelim ki (let's say), Turkish often uses the simple past tense (-di). It treats the event as a "completed" action in your imagination so you can focus on the consequence: "Imagine the fire has already broken out, what happens next?"
Why do we use the verb çıkmak for a fire?
While çıkmak commonly means "to go out" or "to go up", it is also the standard verb for sudden events emerging or breaking out. You will see it used in common collocations like yangın çıkmak (a fire breaking out), savaş çıkmak (a war breaking out), or fırtına çıkmak (a storm breaking out).
Why does zarar have the -ı suffix here?
