Derived Meanings of the Verbs "Нести-Носить" In Russian Proverbs

Abstract

Turkish and Russian languages, which belong to separate language families in terms of origin, differ structurally. For this reason, it is often difficult for Turkish learners of Russian to comprehend Russian grammar rules and find contexts to apply these rules. Moreover, semantic memorization of many concepts in the process of learning Russian poses a major challenge for Turkish students, who do not have an actual verb of motion category and prefixes in their native language. To this end, the present study will focus on the verbs of motion “нести-носить”, derived thorugh the use of prefixes, and will intend to evaluate them from formal and semantic aspects in the light of examples selected from Russian idioms and from the Turkish point of view.
