Çabuk davranırsak, ekmeği koklamak ve tadına bakmak için daha çok zamanımız olur.

Davranırsak is built from several pieces:

• davran- = to act / behave
• -ır- = aorist marker (often used for general or future-like meaning)
• -sa = if
• -k = we

So davranırsak means if we act or if we act quickly in this sentence.

Turkish often puts what English expresses with several words into one verb form, so if we act becomes a single word: davranırsak.

Because Turkish usually does not need subject pronouns when the verb already shows the person.

In davranırsak, the ending already tells you the subject is we.
So adding biz would usually be unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis:

• (Biz) çabuk davranırsak... = If we act quickly...

The same idea appears in zamanımız too, where -ımız means our.

Here çabuk is an adverb, meaning quickly.

It modifies the verb davranmak:

• çabuk davranmak = to act quickly

Many Turkish words can function as either adjectives or adverbs depending on context. Here it is not describing a noun; it is describing how the action is done.

Because ekmeği is the definite direct object form of ekmek.

• ekmek = bread
• ekmeği = the bread / bread as a specific object

The ending -i / -ı / -u / -ü is the accusative marker, used when the object is specific or definite.

So:

• ekmek koklamak = to smell bread, bread in general
• ekmeği koklamak = to smell the bread, a particular bread

In this sentence, the speaker has a specific loaf or piece of bread in mind, so ekmeği is natural.

Because after için in this kind of sentence, Turkish commonly uses infinitive/verbal noun forms.

• koklamak = to smell
• tadına bakmak = to taste / to try

Together:

• ekmeği koklamak ve tadına bakmak için = in order to smell the bread and taste it

So the -mak form here works much like English to smell / to taste after a phrase like in order to.

Because tadına bakmak is a very common Turkish expression meaning to taste, to try, or to sample something.

Literally, it is closer to to look at its taste, but that literal translation is not how it is understood. It simply means to taste it / check how it tastes.

Turkish also has the verb tatmak, which can mean to taste, but tadına bakmak is extremely common in everyday speech, especially for food.

So this sentence sounds very natural.

Tadına contains more than one grammatical element:

• tat = taste
• tadı = its taste / the taste of it
• tadına = to its taste

This happens because bakmak takes the dative case (-a / -e), so the thing you bakmak to is marked with dative.

In the expression tadına bakmak:

• -ı = third-person possessive, roughly its
• -na = dative, because of bakmak

So:

• ekmeğin tadına bakmak = to taste the bread, literally to look to the bread’s taste
• In your sentence, ekmeğin is not repeated because it is understood from ekmeği earlier.

Here için means for or in order to.

It comes after the infinitive phrase it belongs to:

• ekmeği koklamak ve tadına bakmak için = to smell the bread and taste it / in order to smell the bread and taste it

This is normal in Turkish. The purpose phrase comes before the main result:

• ... için daha çok zamanımız olur
• we have more time for ...

So the structure is basically:

If we act quickly, [for smelling and tasting the bread] [more time will exist for us].

Because the subject of olur is zamanımız (our time), not we.

• zamanımız = our time
• olur = becomes / exists / there is

So zamanımız olur literally means something like our time exists / there will be our time, and naturally it is understood as we have time.

It is olur, not oluruz, because:

• olur = third person singular, matching zamanımız
• oluruz = we become / we are, which would not fit here

This is a very common Turkish way to express possession:

• Zamanımız var. = We have time.
• Zamanımız olur. = We will have time / there is time for us

Daha çok means more here.

• çok zaman = a lot of time
• daha çok zaman = more time

So daha çok zamanımız olur means we have more time.

Notice that Turkish often uses daha to create the comparative idea:

• büyük = big
• daha büyük = bigger

The same pattern works here:

• çok = much / a lot
• daha çok = more

The sentence’s word order is very natural, but Turkish word order is somewhat flexible.

Current order:

• Çabuk davranırsak, ekmeği koklamak ve tadına bakmak için daha çok zamanımız olur.

This is natural because:

1. the condition comes first: if we act quickly
2. the purpose phrase comes next: to smell and taste the bread
3. the main predicate comes at the end: we will have more time

That said, Turkish can move parts around for emphasis. But the verb of the main clause usually stays near the end, so this version sounds standard and smooth.
