Sentences-1

Senin adın ne? Benim adım Emre.

What is your name? My name is Emre.

Word-by-Word Meaning:
Senin – your
adın – your name (from “ad” meaning “name,” and “ın” is the possessive suffix for “you”)
ne? – what?
Benim – my
adım – my name (from “ad” meaning “name,” and “ım” is the possessive suffix for “I”)
Emre – (a proper name)

Grammar Explanation:

1. Senin adın ne?
Senin: This is the possessive pronoun for “you,” meaning “your.”
Adın: The word “ad” means “name,” and the suffix “-ın” is the possessive ending for “you,” making it “your name.”
Turkish uses possessive suffixes, so instead of saying “your name” with two separate words, you add a suffix (“-ın”) to the noun “ad.”
Ne?: This is the question word for “what.” It’s placed at the end of the sentence in Turkish (unlike English, where it comes first).
The sentence structure follows the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) pattern: Senin (your) – adın (name) – ne? (what).

2. Benim adım Emre.
Benim: The possessive pronoun for “I,” meaning “my.”
Adım: The word “ad” again means “name,” and the suffix “-ım” is the possessive ending for “I,” making it “my name.”
In Turkish, “-ım” (or its variations) is used for the first-person singular possessive (my). It changes according to vowel harmony.
Emre: This is a proper noun and does not need a verb or additional suffix in Turkish.
Turkish often omits the verb “to be” in the present tense, so while in English we say “My name is Emre,” in Turkish it’s simply “Benim adım Emre.”

Sentence Structure:
Turkish follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) structure, but in this case, the verb “to be” is implied in the present tense.
Possession is shown through possessive pronouns (Senin, Benim) and possessive suffixes (-ın, -ım).
