Konu: RELATIVE CLAUSE (Sıfat Cümleciği) Salı Mart 25, 2008 12:43 pm

Clause: İçinde bir özne ve bir yüklem barındıran şey bir clause’dır. Bu
clause ya bir bağımsız cümle (independent clause) olur veya yan cümle
(dependent clause) olur. Bağımsız cümleler ana cümlelerdir (main
clause). Yan cümleler ana cümlede gördükleri fonksiyona göre
isimlendirilirler:
 The people who came to my party had a good time. (ismi niteliyor, sıfat yan cümleciği)
 We had a good time since the organisation was a well-designed one. (zarf cümleciği)
 That the organisation was a well-organised one made us happy. (isim cümleciği)
Relative Pronoun: Relative clause başlarında yer alan which, who, whom, that zamirleri
NOTE: What bir relative pronoun değildir. Bu konuda göreceğimiz when, where, why ve whereby ise relative adverb’tür.
Altın Kurallar
1) Relative clause içinde nitelenen ismin kendisi veya onu kasteden bir zamir yer almaz..
 The movie which we saw last night was great. (not The movie which we saw it last night was great.)
 The movie whose subject / the subject of which was complicated
couldn’t take my interest. (not The movie which its subject was
complicated couldn’t take my interest)
2) Relative clause isimden sonra gelir ve nitelemiş olduğu isimden ayrılmaz. (Non-defining relative clause hariç.)
 The movie which we saw last night was great. (not The movie was great which we saw last night.)
3) Eğer bir relative pronoun’dan sonra cümle geliyorsa o relative pronoun atılabilir.
 The movie (that) we saw last night was great. (=The movie we saw last night was great.)
4) Ancak relative pronoun’dan sonra yüklem geliyorsa atamayız.
 The people who came to my party had a good time. (not The people came to my party had a good time)
5) Preposition’dan sonra who, that veya  gelmez. which veya whom gelir.
6) Whose’dan sonra bir isim gelir.
7) Non-defining relative cause iki virgül arasına alınır. Bu tür cümlelerde that kullanılmaz.
8 ) Which insan olmayanlar için kullanılır.
Relative Clause in Details
Sıfat cümlecikleri (adjective clause) bir ismi tanımlamalarına
(defining) veya isim hakkında fazladan malumat vermelerine göre ikiye
(non-defining) ayrılır. Tanımlayıcı olmayan sıfat yan-cümlecikler
(non-defining relative clause) daha çok özel isimleri veya iyelik
ifadeleri (my, his, Ahmet’s vs.) veya gösterme sıfatları (this, that
vs.) ile tanımlanmış isimlerden sonra kullanılırlar.
Yapısal olarak iki virgül ile niteledikleri isimden ve cümlenin
kalanından ayrılmaları (1), virgülden sonra that almamaları (2) ve
cümle içinde zaman zaman taşınabilmeleri (3) yönleriyle tanımlayıcı
sıfat yan-cümleciklerinden (defining relative clause) ayrılırlar.
Oluşturduğu anlam farkı için aşağıdaki cümleleri inceleyiniz:
 My wife who is 27 years old is very smart. (I live in Saudi Arabia. I have more than one wife.)
 My wife, who is 27 years old, is very smart. (I have only one wife.)
