Ne güzel bir duyguydu bu - direklerin arasından geçti, oyun alanında alçalıp
yükseldi. I keep seeing verbs like this in Turkish, but Googling them gets me nowhere and they don't show up in online conjugators. Could anyone explain to me how to translate verb forms ending in -ip (-up, etc)? Thanks in advance! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

-ip is attached to verb stems when more than one verb's used in a phrase, more or less to
spare people from conjugating more than one verb. It's like how we can say "I'm going to swim and dance" instead of "I'm going to swim and I'm going to dance". In Turkish it'd be "Yüzüp dans edeceğim", "I'm going to swim and dance". EDIT: -ip can't be used if the verbs describe different people's actions and/or presumably actions taking place at different times.

Oh my gosh, that's so simple! I was thinking it was going to be some sort of incredibly
complicated tense. Memnun oldum! Thanks for that, Rabochnok. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Rabochnok got there first.
The ending more or less translates as "and". It is an alternative to using the Arabic loanword ve, although you can only use this suffix with verbs. In at least one other Turkic language, ip is the verb infinitive ending, but I forget which one. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Uzbek has the same thing with "-ib". For example, one way of saying "bring me" is "menga olib bering" - "take and give to me."

It can be sort of compared with the Latin form of adding +Que on the end of the 2nd noun
to mean "this" and "that" Gladiator Gladiusque - gladiator and sword 1 person has voted this message useful |
