Questions & Answers about Siz yeni koleksiyonu sergide inceleyebilirsiniz.

What does the suffix -de in sergide indicate?

It’s the locative case, marking location. sergide means “at the exhibition” or “in the exhibition.”

Why does koleksiyonu take the -u ending?

Because it’s a definite direct object. Turkish uses the accusative suffix (here -u) on objects that are specific or known, so yeni koleksiyonu = “the new collection.”

How is the verb inceleyebilirsiniz formed and what does each part mean?

Breakdown:
• incele – root (to examine)
• -(y)ebil – potential marker (can)
• -ir – aorist/present tense (general fact or ongoing ability)
• -siniz – 2nd person plural/formal singular
Altogether it means “you can examine.”

Why is Siz used instead of Sen, and is it required?

• Siz is either the formal singular or the plural “you.”
• It shows respect or addresses more than one person.
• It’s not strictly required—-siniz on the verb already tells you it’s “you (plural/formal),” so you can drop Siz for brevity. Including it adds politeness or emphasis.

Why isn’t the dative -e (as in sergiye) used with sergi?

• -e (dative) means “to” or “toward.”
• -de (locative) means “at” or “in.”
Here the action happens “at the exhibition,” so you need the locative sergide, not the dative sergiye.

Can the word order in this sentence change?

Yes. Turkish is fairly flexible as long as the verb stays last. For example:
• Yeni koleksiyonu sergide inceleyebilirsiniz.
• Siz sergide yeni koleksiyonu inceleyebilirsiniz.
Both mean the same, though emphasis may shift slightly.

What tense does inceleyebilirsiniz express, and how is it different from inceleyebileceksiniz?

• inceleyebilirsiniz uses the aorist/present (-ir) plus potential, so it means “you can examine (now or in general).”
• inceleyebileceksiniz uses the future suffix (-ecek) plus potential: “you will be able to examine.”
In announcements or invitations, the aorist is more natural for present ability.

Why is the adjective yeni placed before koleksiyon?

In Turkish, adjectives always precede the noun they modify. So yeni koleksiyon = “new collection,” just like in English.

What’s the difference between incelemek and verbs like bakmak or görmek?

• incelemek = to examine or inspect carefully, with attention to detail
• bakmak = to look (at something)
• görmek = to see or perceive (something)
Use incelemek when you mean a thorough inspection.
