Questions & Answers about Dünkü fırtına çok şiddetliydi, olur da çatımız uçarsa bunu hangi sigorta kapsar?
Why do we need the conditional suffix on uçarsa if olur da already means 'if by chance'?
Olur da sets up the 'if by any chance' meaning, but grammatically it acts as an amplifier rather than a replacement for the conditional. You still must use a conditional verb with it. Here, it pairs with the aorist conditional uçarsa (uçar + sa).
Why is the word for 'yesterday's' spelled as dünkü rather than dünki?
The suffix -ki turns time words into adjectives. While -ki famously breaks vowel harmony rules and usually stays unchanged, dün (yesterday) and gün (day) are exceptions where it becomes -kü to match their rounded vowels.
Is it normal to use uçmak (to fly) for a roof blowing off?
Yes! In Turkish, uçmak doesn't just mean to fly like a bird or plane. It is the standard verb used when the wind blows something away, whether it is a roof, a hat, or a piece of paper.
Why does the sentence use the aorist tense in kapsar instead of the present continuous kapsıyor?
The speaker is asking about a general rule or policy. The aorist tense is perfect for general facts, standard procedures, and theoretical situations, whereas kapsıyor would sound like they are asking about a physical action happening right this second.
Why does bu take the accusative case to become bunu?
Bunu is the direct object of the verb kapsamak (to cover). The speaker is asking which insurance covers 'this' specific situation, so bu (this) takes the buffer letter n and the accusative suffix u.
