Redif in Turkish Poetry
Redif is a fundamental concept in Turkish poetry, characterized by its placement at the end of sentences or lines. It doesn't require a specific grammatical function and can consist of words or suffixes used in the same context.
Definition: Redif is the repetition of words or suffixes at the end of poetic lines, maintaining the same meaning throughout the poem.
Example: In the lines "Bebekler" and "Dizeller", the plural suffix "-ler" serves as the redif, demonstrating how grammatical elements can function as redif.
The document provides several examples to illustrate the versatility of redif:
- It can appear in both the second and third lines of a poem.
- Redif can be a single word, as shown in the example "olur" repeated at the end of multiple lines.
- It can also be a phrase, as demonstrated in the example "ben sana kurban".
Highlight: The flexibility of redif allows poets to create rhythm and emphasis in their works, enhancing the overall structure and impact of the poem.
