Merhaba!
To all my fellow Americans, a very happy July 4th. Please shoot off some fireworks for me as I do not think I shall be doing so here! I have been receiving so many pictures and news of the floods in Missouri and Kansas area not only from friends and family on the internet but also on Turkish television. For those involved, you are in my prayers, and the prayers of many Turkish people as well.
Today let's take a look at Turkish sentence structure. First of all, Turkish does not use nearly the amount of small words that English and Germanic languages do. For example: "the," "a," "to," etc. The main action always goes at the very end of the sentence with the subject at the beginning. There are no exceptions to this rule except for slang sentences.
I am going home.
Ben eve gidiyorum.
or Turkish would leave out the "ben" and the sentence would simply be
Eve gidiyorum
I gave a cookie to Caitlyn.
