Learn Turkish: Mağaza mahşer yeri gibi, bağıran bağırana. - The store is like a madhouse; people are shouting left and right.

This is the structure for chaotic abundance from your current lesson! It combines the subject relative participle -An with the same participle in the dative case -(y)a. Literally, bağıran bağırana means the shouting one to the shouting one. Turkish uses this doubled pattern to paint a vivid picture of a chaotic scene where everyone is doing the same action at once.

What does the phrase mahşer yeri literally mean?

The word mahşer refers to the gathering place of souls on Judgment Day. So, mahşer yeri literally translates as Judgment Day gathering place. In everyday Turkish, it is a very common idiom used to describe a wildly crowded, chaotic, and noisy location, just like saying a place is a madhouse or bedlam in English.

Why is there no verb like olmak or the to be suffix -dir at the end of the sentence?

The to be copula is implied. Fully written out, it would be Mağaza mahşer yeri gibidir, bağıran bağıranadır. In everyday conversational and observational Turkish, the third-person present tense suffix -dir is frequently dropped, allowing the postposition gibi and the dative participle bağırana to function directly as the predicates.

Could I use this -An -Ana structure with any verb to show chaos?
