1. Used after anominal phrase as anemphatic, acting as if there is animplied consequence of the phrase, equivalent to Englishso ... that
  O kadar güzelsinki! (gözlerinin içine sonsuza dek bakabilirim).
  You areso beautiful! (that I can look into your eyes forever).
  O kadar uykum var ki (her an bayılabilirim gibi hissediyorum).
  I'mso tired (that I feel like I'm going to pass out any moment).
anyways
Neden ondan korkuyorsun? O bir halt yapmazki.
Why are you even afraid of them? They won’t do shitanyways.

Usage notes

[edit]

With sense 1, the optative is used for all persons with the exception of the third person singular, which takes the imperative form instead.
With sense 2, it also possible to use this sentence structure
- Seni öpersem, sana âşık olacağımı biliyorum.
  If I kiss you, I know that I'll fall in love with you.
With sense 2.1, the implied consequence is by definition not used (doing that would instead fall under the parent definiton), and in the usage examples are used to make the English translations clearer. Using a sentence withki and no finite verb is grammatically correct.
