Questions & Answers about Her şeyi göze alırız, yeter ki bu ölümcül esaret bitse.
Why does the verb bitse use the conditional -se ending here instead of a regular tense?
The phrase yeter ki means "provided that" or "so long as," and it usually pairs with a verb in the conditional mood (like bitse) or the optative mood. It frames the ending of the captivity not as a stated fact, but as a strong wish or a required condition for risking everything.
Does göze alırız literally translate to "we will risk"?
Not literally. The idiom göze almak translates directly as "to take to the eye," but it means "to risk," "to brave," or "to accept the potential consequences." We see it here in the aorist tense (alırız), which often expresses willingness or a firm promise: "we are willing to risk."
What does the suffix -cül do in the word ölümcül?
The suffix -cül (a variant of -cil) attaches to nouns to form adjectives describing a tendency or nature. Here, it attaches to ölüm (death) to create ölümcül, meaning "deadly" or "fatal." You might also recognize it in words like evcil (tame/domestic, from ev).
Since esaret is the subject of the second clause, why doesn't it have a specific case suffix?
