Questions & Answers about Yılda bir yeni sezonu kesintisiz izliyorum, bu sıklık iyi.
How exactly does yılda bir translate to "once a year"?
It uses the locative case (-da/-de) on the time period, followed by bir (one). It literally means "in the year, one." If you wanted to say "twice a year," you would say yılda iki. For "once a month," it would be ayda bir.
Since "once a year" is a regular habit, shouldn't we use the aorist tense (izlerim) instead of the present continuous (izliyorum)?
You absolutely can use the aorist (izlerim) for general habits, and it would be perfectly correct here. However, in modern conversational Turkish, the present continuous (-iyor) is very frequently used to describe regular routines and habits, much like how it's used in this sentence.
Does kesintisiz specifically mean "binge-watching" here?
It means "uninterruptedly" or "without a break." It is formed from kesinti (interruption) plus the "without" suffix -siz. Turkish does not have a single direct slang word for "binge-watching," so using kesintisiz izlemek (to watch uninterruptedly) is the most natural way to express watching an entire season in one go.
How is the word sıklık (frequency) formed?
It is derived from the adjective sık, which means "often" or "frequent." By adding the abstract noun suffix -lık, it becomes sıklık, meaning the "frequency" or "rate of occurrence."
