Questions & Answers about Puanlama bugün değişti.

What does puanlama mean here?

Puanlama is a noun meaning scoring, grading, or the scoring system, depending on context.

It comes from:

• puan = point, score
• puanla- = to score, to assign points
• -ma = a noun-forming ending

So puanlama is not a verb in this sentence. It is the subject: the scoring / the grading system.

Why is değişti translated as changed and not was changed?

Because değişmek means to change in the sense of to undergo change, not to change something.

So:

• değişti = it changed
• değiştirildi = it was changed

That is an important distinction in Turkish:

• değişmek = to change
• değiştirmek = to change something

So Puanlama bugün değişti means the scoring system changed, not necessarily that someone explicitly changed it in the grammar of the sentence.
