SUBORDINATE CLAUSES
We use subordinate clauses all the time in everyday speech:
"The cat that I see “
"... because he constantly works"
"The girl who reads"
To master Turkish properly, it's essential to understand the different types of subordinate clauses.
There are various ways to form subordinate clauses, but the most commonly used structure involves the -dik suffix.
-DIKÇE FORM
-dikçe is a variant of -dik.
It can be translated by “every time that“ or “as“ according to the context.
the variants are -dükçe, -dıkça, -dukça
O Ankara’ya geldikçe, bu hotelde kalırdı - Everytime he comes to Ankara, he stayed in this hotel.
Boğaz’da ilerledikçe, birbirinden güzel yalıları görüyoruz - As we move forward in the Bosphorus, we saw “yalı“ each one as beautiful as the other one.
