"Sen ve kedin sakinsiniz."

Translation: You and your cat are calm.

[sebtred]

So you do not need to say "Sen ve senin kedin.." for "you and your cat" but you do need to say "senin kedin" for "your cat" on its own?

[ex_contributor]

no, you also don't need to say "senin kedin" for "your cat", "kedin" is enough.

[cathnog]

so from that does kedin multu = your cat is happy?

[OsamaGhaleb]

Yes, but you misspelled "happy", it's "mutlu"

[StephanEst744615]

But it could also mean "The cat is happy" then, couldn't it?

[Danika_Dakika]

The cat is happy. = Kedi mutlu.

[IoannisJohn]

What is the difference with: Sen ve kedin sakiniz. And how do you .name the suffixes for sakin-si-niz

[Yomalyn]

There is only one suffix on each of your examples:
(Biz) sakin-iz = we are calm
("Siz" or "Sen" + someone else) sakin-siniz = you are calm (plural or singular formal/respectful)

These are 1st and 2nd Person Plural suffixes for present tense "to be" (a.k.a. Copula): Full chart in Tips and Notes

It is working for me... Are you using the web-version? Unfortunately, Tips and Notes aren't available if you're using the App. (At least for now... fingers crossed they will be added!)

[Dinara6682]

Thanks for your reply, now I understand why I can see no Tips here((

[drumwhacker]

Sen ve kedin = you all (plural)! of course...I'm usually seeing formal singular 'siz' here...

[shtegtari]

Why is “siz ve kediniz sakinsiniz” not accepted?

[ZohaibHass16]

I think siz is for multiple/plural noun ( opposite of we ). And here the other person is single.
Please correct if I am wrong.

[Muhazib]

Isnt it more appropriate to say "sen ve kedin sakinsin". I thought we used sakinsiniz with siz?

[Danika_Dakika]

You need sakinsiniz because you are referring to multiple "yous" -- both the person and the cat.

sen sakinsin
senin kedin sakin-
sen ve (senin) kedin sakinsiniz

[philo.math]

why is it sakinsiniz and not sakininiz?

[philo.math]

Ok I found the reason. I am confused between verb "to be" and "possessive suffixes"

[alohaworld]

Why don't we use accusative, I mean " Sen ve kedini..."

[Yomalyn]

Accusative is used for direct objects of the sentence-- the thing that is being acted on (or being "verbed", as some people call it)-- being found, being eaten, etc. But in this case, "your cat" is a second subject that is being described as calm. :-)

[Nelie544681]

I thought that as a rule an 'ı' follows an 'a' in the same word. But this does not seem the case with the word 'sakin'...

[Yomalyn]

You will notice many exceptions... This means that they are foreign loan-words rather than natively Turkish. "Sakin" for example comes from Arabic (ساكن). :-)

[samaimh]

We used (sen) why we are saying at last (sakinsiniz) not (sakinin)
(Siz) instead of (sin)

[drumwhacker]

Hi! Yes, the siz form is used for "formal you" form but, like German (and probably other languages), the formal you also covers the form for "all of you", meaning a group or at least, more than one person. In this sentence, we are talking about "you AND the cat"! So... you and the cat are both calm. You would use the "siz" ending to include the cat.
That is my take but i am only a fellow student!

[indeed_danish]

Is "Sen ve kedin sakin" correct? Or do we have to use the 'To Be' rules here?

[Danika_Dakika]

No, you need the "to be" rules to put the right personal suffix on sakin.

[Daisy455881]

But the cat could be of another person

[Danika_Dakika]

This cat cannot be someone else's, because it is "kedin" --> kedi + n (possessive suffix for 2nd person singular you).

[1234567890733450]

Where is possessive?

[RyuYan]

kedi-n

[Hussein99457]

Why is it kedin and not kedini?

[Danika_Dakika]

There's no accusative case (if that's what your additional i is), because it's the subject (not a direct object of a verb).

[MDSARFARAZ007]

Sakinsiniz.... Why?

[Danika_Dakika]

You need sakinsiniz because you are referring to multiple "yous" -- both the person and the cat.
