Questions & Answers about Ben kendi işimi hallededurayım, sen gözlükçüye git.
How is the continuous action suffix added to halletmek to make hallededurayım?
The root is hallet- (to handle or sort out). Because the continuous suffix -edurmak starts with a vowel, the final t softens to d, becoming hallede-. Then we add the base -dur, and finally the optative ending -ayım to mean 'let me keep handling'.
Why combine the continuous -edurmak with the optative -ayım here?
The optative suffix -ayım translates to 'let me'. Combining it with the continuous action verb creates the meaning 'let me keep doing' or 'I will go ahead and continue doing'. It perfectly sets up an ongoing background action while the other person goes to the optician.
Why use kendi işimi when işimi already means 'my business'?
While işimi alone is grammatically sufficient, adding kendi (own) provides emphasis. The speaker is highlighting the contrast between their tasks and the listener's tasks: 'Let me handle my own business, while you go do your thing.'
