Questions & Answers about Benim o heybetli dağları ve sonsuz vadileri görmüşlüğüm var.
What does the structure görmüşlüğüm var mean here, and how is it formed?
It expresses having personal experience with an action. It combines the past participle suffix -müş, the abstract noun suffix -lük, the first-person possessive ending -üm, and the word var. Literally meaning 'my state of having seen exists', it translates smoothly to 'I actually have the experience of seeing'.
This lesson focuses on adjectival emphasis with the question particle. How could I apply that to emphasize the mountains in this sentence?
Why do both dağları and vadileri take the accusative case here?
Even though görmüşlüğüm functions as a noun in this sentence, it is derived from the transitive verb görmek (to see). Because those mountains and valleys are the specific direct objects of the 'seeing' action, they still require the definite accusative suffixes -ı and -i.
Why does the sentence start with the genitive pronoun Benim instead of just Ben?
