Questions & Answers about O iğrenç yalanı bana hiç yakıştırır mısın?
Why does the sentence use hiç with a positive question (yakıştırır mısın) if it's meant to express a strong negative?
This is the core of rhetorical strong negation. By pairing hiç (ever) with a positive Aorist question, the speaker is asking, "Would you ever consider this appropriate?" The implied answer is a strong "Of course not!" It's a much more expressive, indignant way to say "You shouldn't believe this about me" than simply using a standard negative statement.
Where does the verb yakıştırmak (to attribute) come from?
It is the causative form of yakışmak (to suit / to look good on). By adding the causative suffix -tır, it literally becomes "to make something suit" someone. Figuratively, if you yakıştırmak an action or a lie to someone, you are saying that you think that behavior "suits" their character.
Why are there two different cases on the objects: yalanı and bana?
The logic of the verb yakıştırmak requires both. You attribute a specific thing (the direct object) to someone (the indirect object). "That disgusting lie" is the specific direct object, so it takes the accusative case (O iğrenç yalanı). The person receiving the attribute takes the dative case (bana).
Why is the Aorist tense (yakıştırır mısın) used here instead of the present continuous (yakıştırıyor musun)?
