How are Turkish sentences constructed?
For example, in English, we would say, "The cat that is under the table is shivering and it needs to stay dry"
The subject is the cat.

In Turkish the verb is always at the end of the sentence, so in a complex sentence like the above, how can one begin to construct that sentence in Turkish?

Thank you

Answer

Table's under that is cat is shivering and dry is needing.
Masanın altında olan kedi titriyor ve kuruması gerekiyor.

It's actually 2 sentences connected with 'and' , so separate them out and start by saying the table and under it a cat.
