Questions & Answers about Bacağındaki spazm bitene kadar, çömelmek tam yapamayacağın bir eylem.
Can you break down the suffixes in bacağındaki?
It comes from bacak (leg). First we add the possessive -ın (your), then the locative -da (in), and finally the relative suffix -ki (the one which is). Notice how the k in bacak softens to ğ because of the vowel in -ın. Altogether, it literally means "the one which is in your leg".
Why is the ending -ene kadar used on the verb bitmek instead of just -e kadar?
When you use kadar (until) with a noun, you just use the dative case, like sabaha kadar for "until morning". But when attaching it to a verb to mean "until an action happens", the verb takes the -(y)ene or -(y)ana suffix. So bitmek (to finish) becomes bitene kadar (until it finishes).
What makes up the complex word yapamayacağın?
The root is yap- (do). Then -ama adds negative ability (cannot do). Next, -yacak makes it a future relative clause, with its k softening to ğ. Finally, -ın is the possessive suffix indicating "you" are the subject. Altogether, it modifies eylem (action) to mean "an action that you won't be able to do".
Why does use the future tense suffix () when the English translation says "cannot fully do"?
