Questions & Answers about Toplam maliyeti hesaplarken evrak, fatura ve makbuzları incelemek gerekir.

What does the suffix -ken in hesaplarken mean and how is it formed?

• Meaning: The -ken suffix turns a verb into an adverbial clause meaning “while doing X.”
• Formation:

1. Take the infinitive hesapla-mak.
2. Drop -mak, leaving hesapla.
3. Add the buffer consonant r (because the root ends in a vowel) plus -ken → hesapla + rken = hesaplarken.

Why is maliyet written as maliyeti here?

• Case marking: maliyeti carries the accusative -i, showing it’s a definite direct object of hesaplamak.
• Without ‑i: toplam maliyet (no suffix) would be indefinite or general (“a total cost”). With -i, it’s “the total cost” you specifically calculate.

In evrak, fatura ve makbuzları, why does only makbuzları carry the plural and object suffixes (-ları)?

Turkish allows you to attach case or possessive endings to just the last item in a list of coordinated nouns. Here:
• evrak, fatura (no suffix)
• makbuz + -lar (plural) + -ı (accusative) = makbuzları
The suffixes apply to all three items collectively.
