Questions & Answers about Kalifiye çalışanlar projeye destek oluyor.
What part of speech is kalifiye and what does it mean exactly?
Kalifiye is an adjective meaning qualified or skilled. It’s a loanword (via French qualifié or English qualified) commonly used in business and technical contexts.
Why doesn’t Turkish use articles like “the” or “a”? How would I translate Kalifiye çalışanlar into English?
Turkish has no definite or indefinite articles. You decide in English whether to say “Qualified employees,” “The qualified employees,” or “Qualified workers.” The noun phrase çalışanlar simply means employees (plural) and context supplies “the” or “a.”
Why is projeye in the dative case? What does the suffix -ye indicate?
The suffix -ye marks the dative (“to” or “for”). Here projeye = “to the project.” In Turkish, the verb phrase destek olmak (“to support”) takes its object in the dative case, so the thing being supported gets -ye.
What does destek oluyor literally mean and how is it formed grammatically?
Literally, destek = “support” (noun) + olmak = “to be/become.” Together destek olmak = “to support.” The form oluyor is the present‐continuous of olmak (root ol- + progressive -uyor), so destek oluyor = “(they) are supporting.”
