Questions & Answers about Yabancıları tanıdıkça önyargı azalır.
The root of azalır is az (little). How would I use this lesson's -(I)msEmEk suffix with that root, and what does it mean?
Adding the suffix to az gives you the verb azımsamak. This means "to consider something too little" or "to underestimate" a quantity. For example, Porsiyonları azımsadı means "He found the portions to be too small."
Can I apply the -(I)msEmEk suffix to yabancı to mean "to find someone strange"?
You can, though the word alters slightly to become yabansımsamak (to find something alien or strange), and it is quite rare. In daily life, Turks almost always use a different verb, yadırgamak, to express the feeling of finding something foreign or being unaccustomed to it.
How exactly does tanıdıkça give the meaning "as you get to know"?
Why is yabancılar in the accusative case (yabancıları)?
