Questions & Answers about Buluş sahibi patent vekiliyle konuştu.

What is the basic structure of this sentence?

The sentence breaks down like this:

• Buluş sahibi = the subject
• patent vekiliyle = with the patent attorney/agent
• konuştu = spoke / talked

So the overall pattern is:

subject + person talked with + verb

This is a very normal Turkish sentence shape, because Turkish usually puts the main verb at the end.

Why do both sahibi and vekili end in -i?

Because both buluş sahibi and patent vekili are noun compounds.

In Turkish, a very common compound pattern is:

Noun + Noun-(s)I

That final -(s)ı / -(s)i / -(s)u / -(s)ü is historically a possessive ending, but in compounds it often just functions as part of the standard compound form.

So:

• buluş sahibi = owner of the invention / invention owner
• patent vekili = patent attorney / patent agent / patent representative

Important: this -i is not the accusative ending here.
