Question 1Turkish morphology and contextual language
Applying Turkish vowel harmony, what is the correct plural of 'ev' (house)?
- evlar
- evleri
- evler Correct answer.
- evde
Explanation
The plural suffix is -lar/-ler, chosen by the great vowel harmony (büyük ünlü uyumu): front vowels (e, i, ö, ü) take -ler, back vowels (a, ı, o, u) take -lar. Since 'ev' contains the front vowel e, the plural is 'evler'. 'Evleri' adds a case or possessive ending and 'evde' is the locative singular.
Question 2Turkish morphology and contextual language
In the sentence 'Öğrenciler okulda.' (The students are at school), what grammatical function does the suffix -da in 'okulda' express?
- Direction towards the school (dative)
- Location at/in the school (locative) Correct answer.
- Origin from the school (ablative)
- Possession of the school (genitive)
Explanation
The suffix -DA (-da/-de, with voicing variants -ta/-te) is the locative case (bulunma durumu), answering nerede? ('where?'). Direction would be -A (okula), origin -DAn (okuldan), and possession -(n)In (okulun).
Question 3Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does the sentence 'Kitabı okudum.' mean exactly, and why is the suffix -ı used?
- I read a book (any book); -ı marks indefiniteness
- I am reading books; -ı marks the plural
- I will read the book; -ı marks the future
- I read the book (a specific, known one); -ı is the definite accusative Correct answer.
Explanation
The suffix -(y)I is the accusative (belirtme durumu) and marks a definite, specific direct object: 'the book'. An indefinite object would appear without suffix, as in 'Bir kitap okudum' or 'Kitap okudum'. The tense here is the simple past -DI.
Question 4Turkish morphology and contextual language
'Ali şimdi eve geliyor.' - Which English rendering captures the -Iyor form correctly?
- Ali is coming home now Correct answer.
- Ali comes home every day
- Ali came home
- Ali will come home
Explanation
The suffix -Iyor is the present continuous (şimdiki zaman), used for actions in progress at the moment of speaking - reinforced here by 'şimdi' (now). Habitual actions take the aorist (gelir), completed past takes -DI (geldi), and future takes -(y)AcAk (gelecek).
Question 5Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does the construction 'evin kapısı' express, and what is it called in Turkish grammar?
- An indefinite 'a house door' (belirtisiz isim tamlaması)
- 'The door of the house' - a definite noun compound (belirtili isim tamlaması) with genitive -(n)In on 'ev' and possessive -(s)I on 'kapı' Correct answer.
- 'The doors of the house', because -sı is a plural marker
- 'The house and the door', a coordinate phrase
Explanation
In the belirtili isim tamlaması (definite izafet), the possessor takes the genitive -(n)In (ev-in) and the possessed noun takes the possessive suffix -(s)I (kapı-sı). Both parts are marked, yielding 'the door of the house'. In the belirtisiz type ('ev kapısı' = 'a house door') only the second noun is marked.
Question 6Turkish reading and textual analysis
For Analyse of a first-person teenage narrator, which gestalterisches Mittel is often decisive?
- Narrative perspective and reliability of the Ich-Erzähler Correct answer.
- Ignoring who speaks
- Only counting adjectives
- Deleting all dialogue
Explanation
Perspective/reliability shapes how love, conflict, and generation gaps are presented-key for gestalterische Analyse on KH1 texts.
Question 7Turkish writing and mediation
In an aufgabenbezogene Zusammenfassung, what should the candidate primarily do?
- Retell every anecdote and quote at full length
- Select and reorganize task-relevant content of the Turkish text in concise Turkish prose Correct answer.
- Write a personal diary entry unrelated to the text
- Produce a German summary only
Explanation
Aufgabenbezogene Zusammenfassung means a task-focused summary: relevant content condensed and reorganized in Turkish, not a full paraphrase dump or off-topic writing.
Question 8Turkish writing and mediation
When Analyse asks for gestalterische Mittel, which approach is appropriate?
- Ignore style and only list historical dates
- Identify linguistic/stylistic devices and explain how they shape meaning/effect in relation to the Aufgabe Correct answer.
- Replace analysis with a plot spoiler of an unrelated film
- Count words only
Explanation
Analyse unter Berücksichtigung gestalterischer Mittel links form (imagery, perspective, register, structure, etc.) to meaning and Wirkung for the task.
Question 9Turkish writing and mediation
For Sprachmittlung, which strategy is strongest?
- Keep the German syntax word-for-word even if unnatural in Turkish
- Filter for Aufgabe-relevant information, then reformulate clearly in natural Turkish for the stated audience/purpose Correct answer.
- Omit all numbers and names because they are hard
- Write the mediation in German so the marker can check faster
Explanation
Mediation = Auswahl + Übertragung: relevance to the Aufgabe, clear Turkish for the communicative goal-not calqued German word order or wrong output language.
Question 10Turkish writing and mediation
In a Stellungnahme on arranged vs. companionate marriage discourses in Turkish media, which move is strongest for LK?
- Ignore the text and only write autobiography
- Take a clear position, use text evidence, and relate to wider social norms across generations Correct answer.
- List dictionary definitions without argument
- Translate the prompt into German only
Explanation
Diskussion/Stellungnahme needs reasoned position, textual grounding, and Bezug zu größeren inhaltlichen Zusammenhängen-here partnership norms across generations (KH1).
Question 11Turkish-speaking cultural and social contexts
Which contrast helps LK writing on literary epochs?
- Continuities and ruptures between Ottoman/divan traditions and modern/republican literary movements as framed by the text Correct answer.
- Pretending all Turkish literature is identical across centuries
- Only discussing French Symbolism without Turkish reference
- Rejecting all historical context
Explanation
Epochenarbeit thrives on informed continuity/rupture claims anchored in the given text-not flattening history or swapping in unrelated canons.
Question 12Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which locative form of 'kitap' (book) is correct, and why?
- kitapde
- kitapda
- kitabe
- kitapta Correct answer.
Explanation
After the hard (voiceless) consonants f, s, t, k, ç, ş, h, p, the initial d of -DA is assimilated to t (sert ünsüz benzeşmesi / consonant assimilation). Since 'kitap' ends in p, the correct locative is 'kitapta' - compare 'okulda' where d stays after the sonorant l.
Question 13Turkish morphology and contextual language
What is the correct negative aorist (geniş zaman, 3rd person singular) of 'gelmek' (to come)?
- gelmez Correct answer.
- gelirmez
- gelmiyor
- gelmedi
Explanation
The aorist negative is built with -mA + z: 'gelmez', 'gitmez', 'yapmaz' - the aorist suffix -r drops entirely in the negative (except 1st persons: gelmem, gelmeyiz). 'Gelmiyor' is the negative present continuous and 'gelmedi' the negative simple past.
Question 14Turkish morphology and contextual language
How should 'Geldiğini biliyorum.' be analysed and translated?
- I know that he is coming (present participle)
- He knows that I came (subject and object reversed)
- I know that he came / has come - 'gel-diğ-i-ni' is the -DIK participle with 3rd person possessive plus accusative, nominalizing the subordinate clause Correct answer.
- I want him to come (optative subordinate clause)
Explanation
Turkish nominalizes embedded clauses: gel-diğ-i (the -DIK participle 'his coming/having come') plus accusative -ni (with buffer n) makes the whole clause the object of 'biliyorum'. So it means 'I know that he came/has come'. A present meaning would use 'geldiğini' only for past/habitual; 'geliyor' would need a different framing ('geldiğini' vs 'geleceğini' for future).
Question 15Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which phrase correctly says 'after the meal' in Turkish, and which case does the postposition 'sonra' govern?
- yemekle sonra - instrumental
- yemeğe sonra - dative
- yemekte sonra - locative
- yemekten sonra - ablative Correct answer.
Explanation
The postpositions 'sonra' (after), 'önce' (before), 'beri' (since) and 'kadar' (in its 'from' sense) govern the ablative -DAn: 'yemekten sonra', 'dersten önce'. Dative-governing postpositions include 'doğru', 'karşı', 'göre' and 'rağmen'.
Question 16Turkish morphology and contextual language
A friend tells you: 'Ali geç kalmış.' Which nuance does the -miş form carry here that -di would not?
- Ali was apparently late - the speaker did not witness it directly (inferred or reported past) Correct answer.
- Ali was late - the speaker watched it happen with their own eyes
- Ali will be late in the future
- Ali is never late (a general truth)
Explanation
The -miş past (miş'li geçmiş) signals that the event was not directly witnessed: it is inferred from evidence, heard from others, or a surprise discovery ('anlaşılan / söylediklerine göre'). The -DI past (di'li geçmiş) asserts direct knowledge or experience of the event.
Question 17Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does the causative verb 'öldürmek' mean, and from which base verb is it derived?
- To die - from 'ölmek' with a passive suffix
- To be killed - from 'ölmek' with a passive suffix
- To kill (to cause to die) - from 'ölmek' with the causative suffix -DIr Correct answer.
- To kill oneself - from 'ölmek' with a reflexive suffix
Explanation
The causative (ettirgen çatı) suffix -DIr (here -dür after the stem) turns 'ölmek' (to die) into 'öldürmek' (to kill = to cause someone to die). Causatives add an agent who makes the subject perform or undergo the action, e.g. 'gülmek' → 'güldürmek' (to make laugh), 'yapmak' → 'yaptırmak' (to have something done).
Question 18Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which is the correct passive form of 'okumak' (to read), as in 'Bu roman her yıl binlerce kez okunur' (This novel is read thousands of times every year)?
- okurmak
- okunmak Correct answer.
- okutulmak
- okumak
Explanation
Verbs whose stem ends in a vowel or in l take the passive -nIl: oku-n-mak. Other verbs take -Il: yapılmak, gelinmek. The passive (edilgen çatı) suppresses or backgrounds the agent, as in the given sentence where the novel, not a reader, is the subject.
Question 19Turkish morphology and contextual language
Translate and analyse: 'Çok çalıştığı halde sınavı geçemedi.'
- Although he studied hard, he could not pass the exam - '-DIğı halde' expresses concession ('although') Correct answer.
- Because he studied hard, he passed the exam - '-DIğı için' expresses reason
- He passed the exam while studying hard - '-ken' expresses simultaneity
- He studied hard so that he would pass the exam - '-mEk için' expresses purpose
Explanation
The pattern -DIğI halde builds a concessive clause: 'although/even though'. The sentence concedes that despite intensive studying, success did not follow ('geçemedi' = could not pass, negative potential). Reason would be '-DIğI için', simultaneity '-ken' or '-(y)ArAk', and purpose '-mEk için'.
Question 20Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does 'Daha eve varmadan yağmur başladı.' mean?
- It started to rain after he arrived home
- It rained while he was sitting at home
- He reached home before the rain started
- It started to rain before he had even got home Correct answer.
Explanation
The pattern 'daha ... -mAdAn' (negative converb of the aorist stem plus ablative) expresses 'before (something even happened)': the rain began prior to his arrival home. '-mEdEn' is the negative gerund 'without doing'; with 'daha' it often marks that the main-clause event pre-empted the subordinate one.
Question 21Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does 'Bu işi yapamaz.' express, and how is the form built?
- He does not want to do this job - voluntative negative
- He cannot do this job - negative potential: -(y)A- + negative -mA- + aorist -(A)z Correct answer.
- He will not do this job - negative future
- He did not do this job - negative past
Explanation
The potential (yeterlilik) is formed with -(y)Abil (yapabilir = can do); its negative collapses to -(y)AmA + aorist: yapamaz = cannot do. Compare 'yapmak istemiyor' (does not want), 'yapmayacak' (will not do) and 'yapmadı' (did not do).
Question 22Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does the verb 'görüşmek' mean, and which derivational suffix creates this meaning?
- To be seen - the passive suffix -Il
- To see someone off - the causative suffix -DIr
- To meet / to see each other - the reciprocal suffix -(I)ş (işteş çatı) Correct answer.
- To watch attentively - the intensive suffix
Explanation
The reciprocal suffix -(I)ş (işteş çatı) marks an action performed mutually or together: gör-üş-mek (see each other, meet), konu-ş-mak (talk with each other), döv-üş-mek (fight each other). This is distinct from passive 'görülmek' (to be seen) and causative 'göstermek/gördürmek' patterns.
Question 23Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct ablative of 'Ankara' in 'I came from Ankara'.
- Ankara'ya geldim
- Ankara'da geldim
- Ankara'dan geldim Correct answer.
- Ankara'nın geldim
Explanation
Ablative -DAn marks origin: Ankara'dan. Dative -yA is direction; locative -DA location; genitive -(n)In possession.
Question 24Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which sentence correctly uses the aorist for a habitual action?
- Her sabah kahve içiyorum only as the sole habitual form
- Her sabah kahve içerim Correct answer.
- Her sabah kahve içtim
- Her sabah kahve içeceğim only
Explanation
Habitual/general truths typically take the aorist (geniş zaman): içerim. İçiyorum stresses ongoing now; içtim past; içeceğim future.
Question 25Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does 'okuyacakmış' primarily signal?
- Directly witnessed future certainty only
- Reported/inferred information that someone will read / was going to read (-AcAk + -miş evidential) Correct answer.
- Imperative 'read!'
- Passive 'is being read'
Explanation
Combining future -AcAk with evidential -miş yields reported or inferred stance about a future/planned reading event.
Question 26Turkish morphology and contextual language
Select the correct conditional: 'If he comes, we will go.'
- Gelirse gideriz Correct answer.
- Geldi gideriz
- Gelsin gideriz only as the sole correct form
- Gelmek gideriz
Explanation
Real conditional uses -sA: gelirse (if he comes) + gideriz. Geldi is past; gelsin is optative/imperative 3sg; bare infinitive gelmek is ungrammatical here.
Question 27Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which is the correct 1st person plural possessive on 'ev' for 'our house'?
- evin
- evimiz Correct answer.
- evleri
- evde
Explanation
1pl possessive is -(I)mIz: ev-imiz. Evin is 2sg/3sg genitive-like forms in other paradigms; evleri 3pl; evde locative.
Question 28Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct relative/participial translation: 'the book I read'
- okuduğum kitap Correct answer.
- okuyorum kitap
- kitap okudum the only NP form
- okumak kitap
Explanation
The -DIK participle with possessive marks the head noun: oku-duğ-um kitap = the book that I read.
Question 29Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which form means 'without speaking'?
- konuşarak
- konuşmadan Correct answer.
- konuşunca
- konuştukça
Explanation
Negative converb -mAdAn: konuşmadan = without speaking. Konuşarak = by speaking; konuşunca = when (he) speaks; konuştukça = the more (he) speaks.
Question 30Turkish morphology and contextual language
Identify the correct optative/wish nuance among these forms for 'I wish he would come' / 'if only he came' style.
- Keşke gelse Correct answer.
- Geldi as the wish form
- Gelecek only
- Gelmez as a wish
Explanation
Keşke + conditional -sA (gelse) is the classic wish/irrealis pattern. Geldi asserts past; gelecek future; gelmez negative aorist.
Question 31Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which analysis of 'yaptırılmak' is best?
- Active 'to do'
- Causative-passive stack: 'to be made to do / to be caused to be done' depending on context Correct answer.
- Only reciprocal
- Only future tense
Explanation
yap-tır-ıl-mak combines causative -DIr and passive -Il, yielding causative-passive readings common in advanced morphology questions.
Question 32Turkish morphology and contextual language
What does 'öğrencilerce yazılan yazı' illustrate?
- Agentive -cA / passive participle: 'the writing written by the students' Correct answer.
- Future tense agreement
- Vocative case
- Dual number
Explanation
The -cA agent marker with passive participle yazılan yields 'written by the students'. Turkish lacks dual number.
Question 33Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which connective best means 'although / even though' with a -DIK clause?
- -DIğı için
- -DIğı halde / -masına rağmen Correct answer.
- -mEk için
- -DIktAn sonra
Explanation
Concession: -DIğı halde or -mAsInA rağmen. -DIğı için = because; -mEk için = in order to; -DIktAn sonra = after.
Question 34Turkish writing and mediation
A mediation task asks you to inform a Turkish youth magazine about a German article on intergenerational housing. Best focus?
- Translate unrelated sports results first
- Select housing/relationship findings relevant to generations living together and reformulate for magazine readers in Turkish Correct answer.
- Copy German legalese verbatim
- Write only in German
Explanation
Aufgabe-relevant Auswahl + audience-appropriate Turkish mediation links Teil 2 skills to KH1 Zusammenleben der Generationen content.
Question 35Turkish morphology and contextual language
What is the correct plural form of 'ev' (house)?
- evler Correct answer.
- evlar
- evar
- evi
Explanation
The Turkish plural suffix has two forms, -lar and -ler, chosen by two-way vowel harmony. Because 'e' is a front vowel, the front form -ler is required, giving 'evler'.
Question 36Turkish morphology and contextual language
What is the correct plural form of 'kitap' (book)?
- kitapler
- kitaplar Correct answer.
- kitabı
- kitapta
Explanation
The last vowel of 'kitap' is the back vowel 'a', so two-way vowel harmony selects the back form -lar: 'kitaplar'. The stem consonant 'p' does not change before the plural suffix because -lar begins with a consonant.
Question 37Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: 'Ben ___ gidiyorum.' (I am going to school.)
- okuldan
- okulda
- okula Correct answer.
- okulu
Explanation
Movement towards a place takes the dative case -a/-e. Since 'okul' ends in the back vowel 'u', the dative is -a: 'okula' (to school). 'Okuldan' means 'from school', 'okulda' means 'at school', and 'okulu' is the accusative.
Question 38Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: 'Akşam ___ döndüm.' (I returned home in the evening.)
- evde
- evden
- evi
- eve Correct answer.
Explanation
Returning or going to a place requires the dative case. 'Ev' has the front vowel 'e', so the dative form is 'eve' (to home). 'Evde' is 'at home' (locative) and 'evden' is 'from home' (ablative).
Question 39Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct accusative form: 'Elmayı yedim.' (I ate the apple.) Which form fills 'Bir ___ yedim' is wrong; instead pick the accusative of 'elma' (apple).
- elmaı
- elmayı Correct answer.
- elmanı
- elmau
Explanation
When a noun ends in a vowel, the buffer consonant 'y' is inserted before the accusative suffix. 'Elma' ends in the back vowel 'a', so the accusative is 'elma + y + ı' = 'elmayı'. Without the buffer 'y' the form is ungrammatical.
Question 40Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which word contains only front vowels (e, i, ö, ü)?
- kadın
- okul
- bardak
- gözlük Correct answer.
Explanation
'Gözlük' (glasses) contains 'ö' and 'ü', both front vowels, so its suffixes take front-vowel forms (e.g. 'gözlükler'). The other words contain back vowels: kadın (a, ı), okul (o, u), bardak (a, a).
Question 41Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct accusative form of 'yol' (road) for the sentence: '___ biliyorum.' (I know the road.)
- yolu Correct answer.
- yolı
- yolü
- yola
Explanation
The accusative suffix follows four-way (i-type) vowel harmony: after 'o' the matching rounded back vowel is 'u', giving 'yolu'. Four-way harmony distinguishes i/ı/ü/u, unlike the two-way e/a alternation of the plural or dative suffixes.
Question 42Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct genitive form in the phrase: '___ rengi' (the colour of the water).
- suun
- sunun
- suyun Correct answer.
- suı
Explanation
The genitive suffix -(n)In needs the buffer 'y' after a vowel-final noun in the bare form: 'su + y + un' = 'suyun'. The buffer 'n' (as in 'sunun') appears only when the genitive follows a 3rd-person possessive suffix, e.g. 'suyunun'.
Question 43Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: '___ okudum.' (I read the book.)
- kitapı
- kitabı Correct answer.
- kitapu
- kitabü
Explanation
Word-final 'p' in 'kitap' softens to 'b' when a vowel-initial suffix is added: kitap + ı → kitabı. This consonant alternation (p→b, t→d, k→ğ, ç→c) is a regular feature of Turkish suffixation.
Question 44Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: '___ gördüm.' (I saw the tree.)
- ağacı Correct answer.
- ağaçı
- ağacü
- ağaçi
Explanation
Final 'ç' in 'ağaç' softens to 'c' before a vowel-initial suffix, and four-way harmony after 'a' gives 'ı': ağaç + ı → ağacı. The same softening applies to p→b, t→d, and k→ğ.
Question 45Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: 'Çocuk ___ oynuyor.' (The child is playing in the garden.)
- bahçete
- bahçida
- bahçiya
- bahçede Correct answer.
Explanation
The locative suffix is -de/-da, but after voiced consonants and vowels it starts with 'd', while after unvoiced consonants (ç, f, h, k, p, s, ş, t) it hardens to -te/-ta. 'Bahçe' ends in a vowel, so the form is 'bahçede'.
Question 46Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which sentence writes the question particle correctly?
- Öğrenci misin? Correct answer.
- Öğrencimisin?
- Öğrenci mısın?
- Öğrenci musun?
Explanation
The question particle mı/mi/mu/mü is always written as a separate word and follows four-way vowel harmony with the preceding word. After the front unrounded vowel 'i' in 'öğrenci', the correct form is 'mi', written apart: 'Öğrenci misin?'
Question 47Turkish morphology and contextual language
Some loanwords break the usual harmony rules. What is the correct dative form of 'saat' (hour/clock), as in 'saat ikiye kadar' (until two o'clock)?
- saata
- saati
- saate Correct answer.
- saatten
Explanation
Although 'saat' contains the back vowel 'a', this Arabic loanword is pronounced with a palatal quality and takes front-vowel suffixes: 'saate', like 'kalp → kalbe' and 'harf → harfe'. These exceptions must be memorised as standard usage.
Question 48Turkish morphology and contextual language
Which sentence uses the additive particle 'de/da' (also, too) correctly?
- Ben de geliyorum. Correct answer.
- Bende geliyorum.
- Ben da geliyorum.
- Ben'de geliyorum.
Explanation
The additive particle meaning 'also/too' is written separately from the preceding word and follows vowel harmony: 'Ben de geliyorum' (I am coming too). Written together, 'bende' is the locative case ('in me / I have'), a different structure entirely.
Question 49Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: 'Çocuklar ___.' (The children are at school.)
- okula
- okulda Correct answer.
- okuldan
- okulu
Explanation
Being located somewhere takes the locative case -de/-da/-te/-ta. After the voiced 'l' of 'okul' and its back vowel 'u', the form is -da: 'okulda' (at school).
Question 50Turkish morphology and contextual language
Choose the correct form to complete: '___ geliyorum.' (I am coming from İzmir.)
- İzmir'den Correct answer.
- İzmir'e
- İzmir'de
- İzmir'i
Explanation
Origin or source takes the ablative case -den/-dan/-ten/-tan. Proper nouns are separated from suffixes by an apostrophe: 'İzmir'den' (from İzmir).
