Questions & Answers about Kelepir ürünleri gören görene, mağazada alan alana.
How does the phrase gören görene translate to 'eyeing left and right'?
This is a special structure used to describe chaotic abundance or many people doing the same action at once. It uses the subject relative participle -An twice: first in its plain form (gören, 'the one who sees'), and then again with the dative case -e attached (görene, 'to the one who sees'). Literally it means 'the seeing one to the seeing one,' but it conveys people doing the action 'left and right' or 'in crowds.'
Does alan alana follow the exact same rule as gören görene?
Yes. It uses the verb almak (to take or buy). The first word is alan (the one who buys) and the second is alana (to the one who buys). Together, they describe a chaotic frenzy of buying going on in the store.
Why is ürünleri in the accusative case here?
Even though gören is a participle acting as a noun in this structure, it still retains its verb-like ability to take a direct object. Since the bargain items (kelepir ürünleri) are the specific things being seen by the crowd, they take the accusative case suffix -i.
