Questions & Answers about Kırık cam tehlikeli.
How would I use this lesson's "mI" emphasis structure to say the glass is "completely shattered"?
You would apply the Adjective + mI + Adjective structure to kırık (broken). By saying kırık mı kırık cam, you emphasize that the glass is heavily or completely broken.
How would I emphasize that the broken glass is extremely dangerous using the same pattern?
You can apply the pattern to the predicate adjective at the end of the sentence: Kırık cam tehlikeli mi tehlikeli. Notice that the question particle becomes mi to follow 4-way vowel harmony with the final vowel in tehlikeli.
Why isn't it tehlikelidir? Doesn't the sentence need "-dir" to mean "is"?
In everyday spoken Turkish, the "is" for third-person subjects is often just implied. Adding -dir to make it tehlikelidir is grammatically correct, but it makes the sentence sound more like a formal written warning, an encyclopedic fact, or a definitive objective statement rather than a casual observation.
I know kırmak means "to break". Is kırık just a tense of that verb?
