Sg. "-üm" → (gözüm) 2nd P. Sg. "-ün" → (gözün) 1st P. Pl. "-ümüz" → (gözümüz) 2nd P. Pl. "-ünüz" → (gözünüz) 3rd P. Pl. "-leri" → (gözleri) Since göz assumes the position of the subject in the sentence, the verb doymak can only be inflected in 3rd person singular or plural. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “gözü doymak”, in Turkish dictionaries, Türk Dil Kurumu Çağbayır, Yaşar (2007), “gözü doymak”, in Ötüken Türkçe Sözlük (in Turkish), Istanbul: Ötüken Neşriyat, page 1768
