Questions & Answers about Düzenli egzersiz yaptığı için onun duruşu benimkine kıyasla mükemmel.
How is benimkine kıyasla built to mean compared to mine?
The postposition kıyasla means compared to and requires the preceding word to take the dative case (-(y)e / -(y)a). To say to mine, we take benim (my) and add the pronoun suffix -ki to get benimki (mine). Finally, we add the dative suffix -e to satisfy the rule for kıyasla.
Why is there an -n- buffer in benimkine?
Whenever you attach a case marker like the dative -e to a word that ends in the pronoun -ki, you must use the pronominal buffer -n-. That is why it becomes benimkine instead of benimkiye.
Why does the sentence use yaptığı için instead of just çünkü o egzersiz yapıyor?
While using çünkü is fine, Turkish frequently builds because clauses using için (for/because of). To attach an action to için, you must use the factual participle -dık / -tık. Here, yap (do) plus -tık plus -ı (his) forms yaptığı. Thus, egzersiz yaptığı için literally translates to for his doing exercise.
How is the word duruş (posture) formed?
It is built from the verb durmak, which means to stand or to stop. By adding the manner-of-action suffix -uş, it becomes duruş, meaning the manner of standing or posture. The final -u in duruşu is the possessive suffix linking it to onun (his).
