Question 1Turkish morphology and contextual language

What is the correct plural form of 'ev' (house)?

  1. evler Correct answer.
  2. evlar
  3. evar
  4. 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 2Turkish morphology and contextual language

What is the correct plural form of 'kitap' (book)?

  1. kitapler
  2. kitaplar Correct answer.
  3. kitabı
  4. 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 3Turkish morphology and contextual language

Choose the correct form to complete: 'Ben ___ gidiyorum.' (I am going to school.)

  1. okuldan
  2. okulda
  3. okula Correct answer.
  4. 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 4Turkish morphology and contextual language

Choose the correct form to complete: 'Akşam ___ döndüm.' (I returned home in the evening.)

  1. evde
  2. evden
  3. evi
  4. 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 5Turkish 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).

  1. elmaı
  2. elmayı Correct answer.
  3. elmanı
  4. 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 6Turkish reading and textual analysis

For Analyse of a first-person teenage narrator, which gestalterisches Mittel is often decisive?

  1. Narrative perspective and reliability of the Ich-Erzähler Correct answer.
  2. Ignoring who speaks
