Questions & Answers about Lisans sözleşmesi patent ihlaliyle ilgili.

Why is there no separate word for is in this sentence?

In Turkish, the present-tense to be is often not expressed in the 3rd person.

So:

• Lisans sözleşmesi patent ihlaliyle ilgili. = The license agreement is related to patent infringement.

There is no need to add a separate verb for is.

A more formal or emphatic version is also possible:

• Lisans sözleşmesi patent ihlaliyle ilgilidir.

Here, -dir adds an explicit copular ending, but in everyday Turkish it is often omitted.

Why does sözleşmesi end in -si?

Because lisans sözleşmesi is a very common Turkish noun-compound pattern.

It works like this:

• lisans = license
• sözleşme = agreement / contract
• sözleşmesi = agreement of license → license agreement

In Turkish, when two nouns combine this way, the second noun usually takes the 3rd person possessive suffix:

• sözleşme → sözleşme-si

This does not necessarily mean actual possession in the English sense. It is simply how Turkish commonly forms noun compounds.

So:

• lisans sözleşmesi = license agreement
• not literally the agreement of its license in normal English
