In this lesson, you will learn more about the -sİz suffix. This is a productive suffix that creates adjectives and nouns out of nouns. The most common translation is without or the suffix -less, but just as -lİ, it has different functions and meanings. In general it describes a lack of something. Let's see a chart about it:
Turkish | English | |
---|---|---|
To describe an entity that lacks the property of the rootword | cepsiz kansız cansız | pocketless (lit. bloodless) cruel or coward, (lit. without life) dead or inanimate |
To describe lack of involvement of the rootword | parasız (etkinlik) notsuz (ders)sizsiz | free of charge (i.e an event) (a course) without grades without you guys |
Deriving nouns from nouns | telsiz ünsüz | walkie-talkie (lit. wireless) consonant |
