A Grammar of Turkish Sign Language (TİD)

3.5.1.4.3. Order of the components of the concessive conditional clause

As in the factual and counterfactual conditionals, in concessive conditionals, as well, the antecedent clause must precede the consequent clause.

[job work lıttle alcohol even take] ıx₂ job fıre

‘At work, even if you drink just a little, they will fire you.’

Regarding the position of the sign even in the clause, it can precede the predicate as in the example above or it can follow the predicate as in the example below:

[ıx₂ ıx₃ love not even] ıx₃ towards nıce behave know ıx₂

‘Even if you don't like him you can still be polite.’
