Try a question

From “Poetry: line, metre and rhyme”.

Questions are in Turkish, like the exam. Every answer comes with an explanation.

“Rüzgâr eser dallarda / Hasret kalır yollarda” dizelerinde redif hangisidir?

  1. A-da
  2. B-larda
  3. C-l
  4. Deser / kalır
Show the answer

B. -larda

Both lines end with the same plural and locative suffixes, "-larda", with the same function, so the whole of "-larda" is the redif. The "l" left before it is the kafiye.
