Why is "her gün o takım elbise giyer" not accepted? Is the "o" not allowed for some reason?
Because it would mean something like 'He is the one who wears suits every day.' instead of 'He wears a suit every day.' Putting the subject before the predicate emphasizes 'o'(the subject) and you should stress on 'o' while pronuncing.
The most common translation would be: 'O her gün takım elbise giyer.' or 'Her gün takım elbise giyer o.' which would be an inverted sentence.
Just out of curiousity, is "her günü" wrong because it would mean "each day of" instead of "each day?"
Is 'takım elbise her gün giyer' not a valid option here? Does the time modifier need to come first or can it be used before the verb for emphasis/etc?
No. If you would like to use time before the verb, you can do by adding -yi; "Takım elbiseyi her gün giyer." So you can use time modifier before the verb by adding necessary suffix to the previous word.
but obviously you can use it only if you ar talking about a specific suit. Basically you CANNOT place an indefinite object before others (OR only place a definite object before other objects), hence you cannot say "takım elbise her gün giyer" . You could have said "takım elbiseyi her gün giyer", if you were talking about a specific suit
you can say "takım elbise giyer her gün" or "her gün takım elbise giyer." but "takım elbise her gün giyer" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't sound natural.
"He wears a suit every day." Translation: Her gün takım elbise giyer.
O her gün takım elbise giyer. - Correct.
"Giyer" doesnt take "dir" in turkish. Giyer is in the present tense. gel-ir, al-ır, oku-r, yaz-ar, sat-ar, yap-ar. Only for "o" (he she it)
