Questions & Answers about Lütfen bu dengesiz ve tutarsız tavrından vazgeç.
Why does the word tavır take the ablative ending -dan here?
The verb vazgeçmek (to give up, to quit) always takes an object in the ablative case (-DAn). In Turkish, you literally give up from something, which is why we see tavrından instead of an accusative object.
Why is it spelled tavrından instead of tavırından?
How are the adjectives dengesiz and tutarsız formed?
They both use the suffix -sIz (without / -less). Denge means "balance", so dengesiz means "unbalanced" or "erratic". Tutar means "consistency" (from tutmak, to hold), making tutarsız "inconsistent". These adjectives perfectly describe the behavior of someone who acts kâh öyle kâh böyle (sometimes like this, sometimes like that)!
If the English translation just says "this attitude", why does the Turkish word have the possessive suffix for "your" (-ın)?
In Turkish, it is very natural to combine a demonstrative pronoun like bu (this) with a possessive suffix to emphasize a specific person's current state or habit. Bu tavrın translates more literally and emphatically to "this attitude of yours".
