The Third Person Imperative ending is added directly to the verb stem - Yazsın - Let him write... - but if it is added to a tense sign as in - yazıyorsun - then it is the Second Person tense sign - You are writing...
Don't get mixed up.!
Some "formula speak" examples:
Geçmiş olsun - May it pass (from you)....
A formula used to people who are ill - ie: Get better soon.. - or to people who have had an accident or encountered a problem in life - ie: Bad luck ...
Kolay gelsin - May it come easy... Take it easy...
This is usally said to people who are carrying out a duty or their work..
Neden olmasın? - Why let it not be?
This is the same as - Why not...? - in English - See note below:
Note: I used to say - Neden yok - for - Why not..? - until it was pointed out to me the this actually means - There is no reason.........! |
