Questions & Answers about Doping ile ilgili, içmemen gereken mineral karışımları hangileri?
Why are there two -me suffixes in içmemen?
The first -me is the negative suffix (meaning "not"). The second -me is the verbal noun suffix that turns the verb into a noun (like "-ing" in English). Finally, the -n is the possessive suffix meaning "your." Literally, içmemen means "your not drinking."
How do içmemen and gereken work together to mean "that you must not drink"?
To describe a noun with a "must" or "need to" action, Turkish uses a verbal noun with a possessive suffix (like içmemen, "your not drinking") followed by the relative participle form of gerek- (to be necessary). Gereken means "that is necessary." So, içmemen gereken literally translates to "that your not drinking is necessary."
Why is there an -ı at the end of karışımları?
It is the compound noun marker (possessive suffix). Because "mineral mixtures" is a noun-noun compound, the second word must take a possessive suffix to link them. Mineral is the first part, and karışımlar (mixtures) takes the -ı to complete the compound.
Why use hangileri instead of just hangi?
Hangi is an adjective meaning "which" and must be used right before a noun (like "hangi mineral"). Here, the word stands alone as a pronoun referring back to the mixtures. Adding the plural -ler and the possessive -i turns it into the pronoun hangileri, meaning "which ones" or "which of them."
