Questions & Answers about Sabit parametreler yerine değişken parametreler kullanarak deneysel bir model oluşturduk.
What is the function of yerine in sabit parametreler yerine?
Yerine is a postposition meaning instead of. It links a noun phrase to express what is being replaced. The noun phrase stays in the nominative case with no extra suffix:
- sabit parametreler yerine = instead of fixed parameters
Why is kullanarak used here and what does the suffix -arak mean?
The verb kullanmak (to use) takes the suffix -arak (adjusted via vowel harmony and consonant assimilation) to form a gerund meaning by using. This indicates the means or method:
- değişken parametreler kullanarak = by using variable parameters
Other examples:
• yürüyerek = by walking
• alışveriş yaparak = by shopping
Why do we say deneysel bir model instead of bir deneysel model?
Turkish allows flexible placement of bir (an/one) relative to adjectives. Both orders are correct:
• bir deneysel model (one experimental model)
• deneysel bir model (an experimental model)
Putting bir after the adjective (deneysel bir model) often sounds more natural when you introduce the type first.
Why are sabit parametreler and değişken parametreler in the plural form?
How is the adjective deneysel formed from deney?
Deneysel = deney (experiment) + adjective-forming suffix -sel, which means “related to” or “characteristic of.”
Examples:
• tarih (history) → tarihsel (historical)
• elektrik (electricity) → elektriksel (electrical)
What does oluşturduk mean and how are its suffixes structured?
Oluşturduk is the first-person plural simple past of oluşturmak (to create/form). Breakdown:
- oluştur- (root)
- -duk (1st person plural past)
Since Turkish is pro-drop, biz (we) is omitted; oluşturduk by itself means we created.
Why doesn’t deneysel bir model take an accusative suffix, even though it’s the direct object?
In Turkish, only definite direct objects take the accusative suffix -ı/-i/-u/-ü. Because deneysel bir model is indefinite (an experimental model), it remains unmarked.
If it were definite (the experimental model), you’d say:
• Deneysel modeli oluşturduk.
Can we change the word order, for example place kullanarak after oluşturduk?
