"I help the ones I love."

Translation: Sevdiklerime yardım ederim.

[leyla408034]

Can i say 'sevdiğim olanlara yardım ederim'

[ali213331]

You can say "sevdiğim KİŞİLERE yardım ederim"

[Ektoraskan]

No, that sounds off. I don't think we use "-diği" and "olan" one after the other.

Just out of curiosity. I almost answered "Sevdiğimlere yardım ederim" before deciding to go with the correct answer ("Sevdiklerime") but I was wondering if what I had come up with first makes any sense and if not can you explain why? Because to my mind Sevdiğimlere = to the ones that I love, whereas Sevdiklerime = to the ones loved. Or do you drop the -im suffix here because it's already clear from the context that this is implied? Thanks.

"Sevdiklerime" means to the ones that I love. Sevdiğimlere doesn't have any meaning, it's wrong. I think you were confused because of the " dik " suffix as it is normally used for past tense.

" Sevdiklerime " means to the ones that i love. There is no such thing as sevdiğimlere. I think the "dik" in sevdiklerime made you think it was in past tense but it is not in this context, ı think this is why you were confused.

What function does ederim serve?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

yardım etmek = to help

yardım is not a verb on its own

[reza938204]

What about (( sevdiğim biriye yardım ederim )))

I think your translation might get the general idea across, but Duo's translation seems more definite and plural, like the English sentence. ("I help the ones I love." vs. "I help someone I love.") Don't forget that "biri" already has one suffix, so the buffer letter on the dative suffix should be "n" instead of "y": "bir-i-ne"
