First, it would be "erkekle" :)
When referring to a physical being, one says "adam." "erkek" is used to distinguish gender :)
"Adamla kadın mutlu" is said to be wrong, why? What is the difference that the order of the words make here? Teşekkürler!!
in the sentence ' you are eating the soup with cheese', the order was 'with cheese, the soup, you are eating' so I put for this one 'adamla dadin mutlu'. How do we know if the 'noun-with' comes before or after the other one?
in "peynirli çorba" we have an Adjective Formation with -li, here the adjective has to come before the noun. ("çorba peynirli yerim" doesn't work)
on the other hand, adamla in "kadın adamla" is in instrumental case, and it can come either before or after "kadın" (kadın adamla mutlu and adamla kadın mutlu are both ok)
Yeh I realised about the adjective thing after posting this question. Thanks.
I wonder, in light of Selcen's post, why we have sentences like "Biz çayı şekerli içeriz."
l feel dumb for asking this, but why doesnt "kadın adam ile mutlu" work?
With or without is with the 4-vowel harmony right? So why is Kadin adamli mutlu incorrect (without dots..)?
This is the instrumental case which has the suffix -lA. It is 2-way vowel harmony. This is different from the suffix -lI. :)
Why is it şekerli (4-vowel-harmony) but öğretmenle (2-vowel-harmony). How do i know?
This is a bad sentence for clarity - - Are we saying that the woman (standing next to the man) is happy? - Are we saying that the woman is pleased or satisfied with the man's conduct? - Are we saying that the woman finds herself happy in a relationship with the man?
Does mutlu mean 'with happiness'? as in happyful? and mutsuz mean 'without happeness'? as in happyless?
