Questions & Answers about Başvuru sahibi teknik resmi düzeltti.
Why is başvuru sahibi used for applicant, and why is it sahibi rather than sahip?
Başvuru sahibi is a very common Turkish way to say applicant.
It is built as a noun compound:
- başvuru = application
- sahip = owner / holder
- sahibi = its owner / holder
So the phrase literally means the holder/owner of the application.
In this kind of Turkish compound, the second noun usually takes a possessive ending. That is why you see sahibi, not just sahip.
Why is it teknik resmi, not just teknik resim?
Because this noun phrase is the direct object of the verb, and it is understood as specific/definite.
In Turkish, a specific direct object usually takes the accusative ending -(y)I. So:
- teknik resim = technical drawing / a technical drawing
- teknik resmi = the technical drawing
There is also a small sound change here:
- base word: resim
- with suffix: resmi
Some Turkish words drop a vowel when a vowel-initial suffix is added, so you get resmi, not resimi.
Could teknik resmi also mean his/her technical drawing?
