Eşitlik bozma sorusuna cevap vereceğine onu pas geç.

Literally, it is something like tie-breaking question.

• eşitlik = equality, tie
• bozma = breaking
• soru = question

So eşitlik bozma sorusu is the kind of question used to break a tie, for example in a quiz or competition.

Also, bozma here comes from bozmak, meaning to break or to disrupt. In Turkish, this kind of verbal noun is very common inside compound expressions.

Because eşitlik bozma sorusu is a noun compound.

In Turkish, the last noun in this kind of compound usually takes the 3rd person possessive suffix:

• soru = question
• sorusu = its question / the question of ...

So:

• eşitlik bozma sorusu = tie-break question

Then the sentence needs the dative case, because of cevap vermek:

• sorusu
  • -na → sorusuna

So eşitlik bozma sorusuna means to the tie-break question.

This is very normal Turkish compound-noun grammar.

Because Turkish often uses a noun + light verb combination where English uses one simple verb.

Here:

• cevap = answer
• vermek = to give

So cevap vermek literally means to give an answer, and that is the normal way to say to answer.

There are also other verbs such as yanıtlamak, but cevap vermek is extremely common and natural in everyday Turkish.

Here, vereceğine means instead of answering or rather than answer.

This is a very useful Turkish structure:

• -eceğine / -acağına

It often expresses the idea of instead of doing X.

So:

• cevap vereceğine = instead of answering

A more literal grammatical breakdown is:

• ver-ecek-in-e

This comes from a verb form that originally looks like your going to answer, but in actual use it often functions idiomatically as instead of answering.

In this sentence, it matches the person being addressed, so it means instead of you answering.

Yes. A very close alternative is:

• Eşitlik bozma sorusuna cevap vermek yerine onu pas geç.

That also means Instead of answering the tie-break question, skip it.

The difference is mostly style:

• cevap vermek yerine = very transparent and easy to understand
• cevap vereceğine = a bit more compact and often more conversational

Both are natural.

Pas geçmek is an idiomatic expression meaning to skip, to pass over, or to leave unanswered.

So:

• onu pas geç = skip it

Even though pas originally comes from pass in sports contexts, pas geçmek is now a fixed everyday expression in Turkish.

You can use it for questions, topics, turns, or items you want to leave aside.

Onu means it or that one as a definite direct object.

It refers back to eşitlik bozma sorusu.

So instead of repeating the whole noun phrase, Turkish uses onu:

• Eşitlik bozma sorusuna cevap vereceğine onu pas geç.
• Instead of answering the tie-break question, skip it.

The -u here is the accusative form of o.

Yes. It is an imperative.

• pas geç = skip it

This is the informal singular command, used when speaking to one person in a casual or direct way.

More polite or plural versions would be:

• pas geçin = skip it
• onu pas geçin = skip it

So the original sentence is directed at you in a fairly direct way.

Turkish word order is flexible, but this order is very natural.

The sentence is structured like this:

• Eşitlik bozma sorusuna cevap vereceğine = instead of answering the tie-break question
• onu pas geç = skip it

So the instead of... part comes first, and the main command comes at the end.

That works well because Turkish often places background or contrast information before the main verb.

Also, the object onu comes before the verb pas geç, which is the normal pattern in Turkish.

Yes. It creates a contrast between two possible actions:

• answering it
• skipping it

So the sentence is not just saying skip it. It is saying:

• Rather than answer it, skip it
• Instead of dealing with it that way, do this other thing

That contrast is an important part of the meaning of -eceğine here.
