From hoş (pleasant) +‎ -u (3rd person singular possessive suffix) +‎ -na (dative suffix) + gitmek (to go), roughly translatable as “to go to his/her/its pleasure”.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ho.ʃuˈna ɟit.mec/

Verb

[edit]

hoşuna gitmek (third-person singular simple present hoşuna gider)

  1. to like, to enjoy
    Ona davranışın hoşuma gitmiyor.
    I don't like the way you treat him/her.

Usage notes

[edit]

Although translated as “to like” or “to enjoy”, the subject of this verb corresponds to the object of the English verbs, while what would be the subject in English is expressed by the possessive suffix on the word hoş. E.g.:

Sen hoşuma gidiyorsunI like you (literally, You go to my pleasure)
