Questions & Answers about Pansiyonda kaldığınız süre boyunca her dileğiniz yerine getirilecektir.
What is the function of -da in pansiyonda and why is pansiyon in the locative case here?
-da is the locative suffix, indicating “at/in/on” a location. pansiyonda means “at the boarding house.” It tells us where the action of staying (kalmak) takes place.
What does kaldığınız mean and how is that form constructed?
kaldığınız comes from kalmak “to stay.” First you add the past-tense marker -dı to the stem kal, giving kaldı (“you stayed”). Then you attach the relative-clause participle -ğ plus the 2nd-person-plural/formal suffix -ınız, yielding kaldığınız, literally “that you stayed.” It turns the verb into an adjective describing süre (“the period that you stayed”).
Why is süre boyunca used instead of simply süre? How does boyunca work?
boyunca is a postposition meaning “throughout” or “during.” When attached to a noun (in the nominative), it expresses the duration of an action. So süre boyunca = “throughout the time/period,” i.e. “for the duration of.”
Could we say kaldığınız sürece instead of kaldığınız süre boyunca? What’s the difference?
Yes. sürece (from süre + -ce) also means “as long as.”
- kaldığınız sürece = “as long as you stay.”
- kaldığınız süre boyunca = “throughout the time you stay.”
They’re very close in meaning; sürece often emphasizes “while/so long as,” whereas boyunca focuses on spanning the entire period.
What does her dileğiniz mean, and why is dileğiniz singular after her?
her means “every.” It’s always followed by a singular noun. dileğiniz is dilek (“wish”) + 2nd-person-plural possessive -iniz, giving “your wish.” So her dileğiniz = “every wish of yours” (i.e. “all your wishes”).
What is yerine getirilecektir and how is this future passive formed?
yerine getirmek literally “to bring into place” means “to fulfill.” The passive is yerine getir-il-mek (“to be fulfilled”). Then you add the future tense -ecek and the formalive -tir, yielding getir-il-ecektir. So yerine getirilecektir = “will be fulfilled.”
Why use the impersonal passive yerine getirilecektir instead of an active form like (biz) yerine getireceğiz?
The impersonal passive is common in formal or promotional contexts. It sounds more polite and general by omitting “we” as the agent. It emphasizes that “every wish will be fulfilled” during your stay without specifying who does it.
