Özet:

-mAlI suffix, which is used for the necessity in Turkey Turkish, starts to be seen during Old Anatolian Turkish period. At the beginning, as particible it’s function is to make verb nouns. About the usage of the suffix Muharrem Er-gin states that, after turning in to necessity suffix, usage of it as partisip in Ot-toman Turkish decreased, however it is common in Azerbaijan; but usage as necessity suffix is too low in Azerbaijan Turkish. On the contrary, in today's Azerbaijan Turkish, the use of this suffix for necessity mode is quite com-mon. It is not productive as partisip too, it is often used with certain words. In Azerbaijan Turkish grammar books, it is stated that three different structures, -mAlI, gerek + optativ suffix and -AsI, are used for necessity mode. However, apart from these, as in the case of Turkey Turkish, necessity is expressed also by various markers like -mAk gerek, -mAk lazım, mecburiyetinde kal-, mecbur ol-, lazım ol-, vacib ol- and gerek, lazım, mecbur, şert, vacib. In this study, the use of -mAlI suffix in Azerbaijan Turkish will be exemplified and necessity mode will be determined.
