Reference: yoksun kalmak Reference information: The following definition in the Turkish Language Institute Dictionary may help: yoksun kalmak sahip olunan bir şeyi kaybetmek, kullanamamak. In my opinion, what the use of 'kalmak' adds is the idea that this thing was once possessed and has been lost. |
