what is turkish’s Gossip tense and how does it work the Turkish language has gone viral on social media for a particular trait a tent that you can use specifically for gossip this post onx says you can use the gossip tense to talk about events you haven’t witnessed yourself emphasizing that what you’re talking about is just hearsay you can also be judged for misleading people if you don’t use the tents according to the post it’s true that such a feature does exist in the Turkish language but how accurate is it to call it a gossip tense so the tense that people sometimes refer to as gossip tense is uh a suffix uh Turkish grammar is mostly composed of suffixes uh and this one takes the form mus M mus or mus depending on vowel Harmony it’s accurate only in so much as if you were going to gossip about something that you didn’t witness firsthand uh something in the past you probably would use it but it’s actually a lot more complicated than that the so-called gossip tense is what linguists call an evidential rather than a tense and essentially it isn’t just used for gossip it’s used for any source of knowledge that you’ve gained indirectly or that you doubt among other things it’s not just in Turkish either other languages such as Mongolian and tajik have structures like this too what does it mean though for news reporting and does it lay any pitfalls for the potential spread of misinformation the catch22 is uh in proper journalism now we tend not to use the Mish by itself because as an authoritative journalist you don’t want to be doing that so again the best journalism in Turkish avoids situations where you’re trying to communicate information you got from other sources uh with sort of unambiguously either direct or indirect verb forms whatsoever for more head over to euronews.com [Music]
