dropped in certain contexts. Such deletable elements are shown in brackets when a suffix is cited, e.g. -(y)mIş. The English translations of the example sentences have been made as idiomatic as possible. Where the structure of the idiomatic translation is so different from that of the <strong>Turkish</strong> as to make it possibly difficult to see how it was arrived at, we have added in brackets a literal translation of all or part of the sentence. Where translations are provided for individual words (e.g. in Parts 1 and 2) it should not be assumed that these represent the only meanings that these words can have.
