Questions & Answers about İşe alım süreci uzadı.
Why is it işe alım and not just iş alım?
Because the expression comes from the verb işe almak, which means to hire or literally to take into a job.
- iş = work, job
- işe = to the job / into employment (the noun iş takes the dative ending -e)
- alım = act of taking, receiving, recruitment
So işe alım is a fixed expression meaning hiring / recruitment. Turkish often keeps the case ending from the original verb phrase when turning it into a noun expression.
What exactly is the -e in işe doing?
It is the dative case ending.
- iş = job, work
- işe = to a job / into work
In the verb işe almak, the person is being taken into a job, so Turkish uses the dative. Even when the phrase becomes a noun expression like işe alım süreci, that -e stays.
Why does süreç become süreci?
