Questions & Answers about Bu plan arkadaşlarla birlikte oluşturuldu.
What does bu mean in Bu plan?
bu is a demonstrative pronoun meaning “this.” In Bu plan, it points to a specific plan close to the speaker or context—i.e. “this plan,” not “that plan.”
Why isn’t plan marked with an accusative suffix (like planı)?
In a passive sentence, the original object becomes the subject and takes the nominative (no accusative). Here plan is the subject of the passive verb oluşturuldu, so it stays in the nominative case without -ı.
What does arkadaşlarla birlikte mean, and can I say just one of them?
- arkadaşlarla means “with friends” (instrumental case of arkadaş).
- birlikte means “together” (adverb).
Together they emphasize “together with friends.” You could say arkadaşlarla oluşturuldu (with friends it was created) or birlikte oluşturuldu (it was created together), but combining them makes the meaning crystal-clear.
