Questions & Answers about Aynı cümleyi yineledikçe işim eziyet oluyor.
How does the suffix in yineledikçe translate to 'the more I repeat'?
The suffix -dikçe (or -dıkça) attaches to verb stems to mean 'as long as', 'every time', or 'the more an action happens'. It shows an ongoing or repeated action that causes a change in the main clause. Here, yinele- (to repeat) + -dikçe perfectly captures 'the more I repeat'.
Where is the 'I' in yineledikçe? Doesn't this suffix need a personal ending?
Unlike some other verb clauses you've learned (like yinelediğimde meaning 'when I repeat'), the -dikçe suffix never takes personal possessive endings. The doer of the action is understood purely from context. Even though the main subject of the sentence is işim (my job), common sense tells the listener that 'I' am the one doing the repeating.
What is the root of the verb yinelemek?
It is built directly from the very common word yine, which means 'again'. By attaching the verb-forming suffix -le, we get yinelemek, which literally means 'to do again' or 'to repeat'.
Why use oluyor instead of ediyor with the word eziyet (torment)?
The compound verb eziyet etmek means to actively torment or torture someone. In this sentence, the subject is işim (my job), and the job isn't actively torturing a victim; rather, the job itself is turning into a state of agony. Because it describes a change of state ('becomes a torment'), olmak (to become / to be) is the correct auxiliary verb.
