Extended Form of the Imperative

Showing Impatience

There is another form of the imperative which can be a little petulant or sound impatient. It may be used if you have been waiting too long or in cases where notice has not been taken. This form should be used with care by the learner. It is at first best translated as: Why do you.. ? or Why don't you...?

Formation of the Extended Imperative (Showing Impatience)

The suffix -sana or -sene is added to the Positive Verb stems, this becomes -sanıza or -senize when addressing a group of people.

Positive Verb (Impatient Form)

Baksana - Now look here!
Gelsene - Come on then! or Come along!
Otursanıza - Oh DO sit down! or Why don't (you all) sit down!!
Here we can see that although there is only a Positive Form in Turkish we can sometimes translate it as negative in English to arrive at the meaning.

Some "Formula Speak" Examples

Sağ ol (Sağol), Sağ olun, Sağ olunuz

This form is used a lot to thank some one for some extra service or for something that has put them out. It is far more stronger than - Teşekkür ederim - Thank you.

If for instance you ask a stranger for the time you could answer - Sağol - Stay healthy! - As a thank you for his trouble.

Eksik olmayın(ız) - Lit: Don't go missing!

This is used for telling someone you like their company and they should "stick around".

Sakın!, Sakınınız!, - Be careful! Watch out! Protect youself!

The Imperative of the reflexive verb - sakınmak - to avoid, to beware - is used as an interjection to warn or advise.

Sakın ha! - Just mind out..!, Just watch it..!

Onu yapmaktan Sakınınız - Be careful of doing that..!

Sakın bunu bir daha yapma! - Don't you ever do that (this) again!

This is said to warn somebody of a disaster waiting to happen!




Note: Do not mix - sakın..! - Mind..! Beware..! (undotted I) - with - sakİn (Dotted İ) - calm, quiet - as in sakİn olun! - calm down..! quieten down.!
