Questions & Answers about Kalkıp haddini aştı; herkes onu ayıpladı.
Does kalkıp mean she literally stood up before overstepping her bounds?
Not necessarily. While kalkmak literally means "to get up," using the converb kalkıp right before a main verb is an idiom that shows the action was audacious, inappropriate, or unexpected. It functions exactly like the English phrase "she went and..." in a sentence like "she went and made things worse."
What is the literal breakdown of the idiom haddini aştı?
Had is an Arabic loanword meaning "limit" or "boundary," and aşmak means "to exceed" or "to cross." Together, haddini aşmak literally translates to "crossing one's limit," which is the Turkish equivalent of the English idiom "to overstep one's bounds" or "to cross the line."
Why are there two -i suffixes on haddini?
The root word is had (which doubles its final consonant to hadd- when adding a vowel). The first -i is the third-person possessive suffix indicating "her limit." The -n- is a buffer letter, and the final -i is the accusative case marker, which is required because "her limit" is the direct object of the verb aştı.
