Questions & Answers about Tutup kabahatini arsızca inkâr etti.
Wait, doesn't tutup mean "holding" or "grabbing"?
Literally, yes. But here it is acting as a converb of audacious or unexpected action, similar to saying "he went and..." or "he took it upon himself to..." in English. When paired with a main verb like inkâr etti, tutup emphasizes that the action was surprisingly bold, inappropriate, or completely out of line.
Let's break down the suffixes on kabahatini. Why are there two -i endings?
The first -i is the third-person possessive suffix (his fault). The second -i is the definite accusative case marker, used because this specific fault is the direct object of the verb inkâr etti. The -n- in between is the standard buffer letter used whenever you add a case marker to a third-person possessive suffix.
What exactly does the -ca suffix do in arsızca?
It turns the adjective arsız (shameless or impudent) into an adverb of manner, meaning "shamelessly". You will frequently see -ca or -ce attached to adjectives that describe human character or behavior to explain exactly how an action is being performed.
Could I use suçunu instead of kabahatini here?
