Questions & Answers about Kiralık depoya gelmeden önce irsaliyeyi hazırlamış olmanız lazım.
What does kiralık depo mean, and why is it depoya here?
Kiralık depo means a rental warehouse or a warehouse for rent.
In the sentence, it becomes depoya because of the dative case suffix -a / -e, which often means to or toward:
- depo = warehouse
- depoya = to the warehouse
So:
- Kiralık depoya gelmeden önce = before coming to the rental warehouse
Why does gelmeden önce mean before coming?
This is a very common Turkish structure:
- verb stem + -meden / -madan = without doing
- önce = before
So:
- gelmek = to come
- gelmeden = without coming
- gelmeden önce = before coming
Literally, it is something like before not-yet-coming, but in natural English it simply means before coming.
You will see this pattern often:
- gitmeden önce = before going
- yemeden önce = before eating
- başlamadan önce = before starting
Why is it irsaliyeyi and not just irsaliye?
