Let’s now ha<strong>ve</strong> a closer look at the semantic features of these morphemes.<br />

It is your turn!<br />

-DI It is your turn!<br />

10 1. -DI marks 10 definite past as a tense marker in the context of definite time<br />

ad<strong>ve</strong>rbials. In sentences such as Dün e<strong>ve</strong> döndük, ‹ki y›l önce tan›flt›k, Buraya<br />

It is your turn!<br />

geçen y›l geldik, It is your the turn! e<strong>ve</strong>nts that are expressed by the <strong>ve</strong>rbs took place anterior to<br />

11 the reference 11 point. Therefore, they are characterized as past.<br />

2. -DI has aspectual meanings, as well. Two of them are perfecti<strong>ve</strong> <strong>and</strong> perfect<br />

It is your turn!<br />

12<br />

(Kornfilt, 1997: 340-355). Perfecti<strong>ve</strong> aspect focu<strong>ses</strong> on completedness, whereas<br />

It is your turn!<br />

perfect on the present result of a past situation. A sentence such as saçlar›m<br />

12<br />

›sl<strong>and</strong>› may be ambiguous between the two aspectual meanings. In a context<br />

such as saçlar›m ›sl<strong>and</strong>› ama flimdi kurudu the e<strong>ve</strong>nt ‘to get wet’ is viewed as<br />

It is your turn!<br />

completed. It Therefore, is your turn!<br />

the aspectual meaning assigned to it is perfecti<strong>ve</strong>. Compare<br />

13 this with 13Saçlar›m<br />

›sl<strong>and</strong>› <strong>ve</strong> hala da ›slak. Now, the meaning foregrounds the<br />

current relevance, being wet, of the past situation, getting wet. Therefore, the<br />

aspect is interpreted as perfect. Similar examples are:<br />

(18) Gürkan ellerini y›kad›.<br />

implication: they are clean now, so he can eat.<br />

Gürkan Türkçe ödevini bitirdi.<br />

implication: it is ready now to be turned in.<br />

Pantolonuma çay döküldü.<br />

implication: it is wet now, so I ha<strong>ve</strong> to change it.<br />

The perfect interpretation of -DI in (18) can be cancelled by providing additional<br />

contexts. Consider the following:<br />

(19) Gürkan önce ellerini y›kad› sonra da yüzünü.<br />

Gürkan Türkçe ödevini bitirdi ama daha di¤erleri var.<br />

Pantolonuma çay döküldü, bir de y›rt›ld›.<br />
