Questions & Answers about Allah her derdine deva eyleye.
How is the optative mood formed in the word eyleye?
The verb stem is eyle- (to do or make). We add the buffer -y- and the 3rd person singular optative suffix -e. This gives it the meaning 'may He make' or 'let Him make'. While modern conversational Turkish often uses the imperative for the 3rd person, the older -(y)A optative remains very common in prayers and blessings.
Why does this sentence use eylemek instead of the more common verb etmek?
Both verbs are auxiliary verbs meaning 'to do' or 'to make'. However, eylemek is older and more poetic. It is frequently used in religious contexts, prayers, and blessings, which gives this sentence its traditional tone.
What suffixes are attached to the word derdine?
The root word is dert (trouble or sorrow). When we add the 2nd person possessive suffix -in (your), the final 't' softens to 'd' because of consonant mutation. Finally, we add the dative suffix -e (to/for), resulting in 'to your trouble'.
Why does derdine take the dative case here?
The compound verb deva eylemek (to provide a remedy / to cure) requires the dative case for the thing receiving the remedy. In Turkish grammar, you provide a cure to something, which is why it takes the -e suffix.
