Questions & Answers about Bozuk cihazı tamir etmek için gereken ücret ve zaman miktarını incelemeniz şarttır.
Why does bozuk cihazı take the accusative ending -ı?
In Turkish, a definite (specific) direct object is marked by the accusative suffix -ı/-i/-u/-ü. Here the “broken device” is exactly the thing to be repaired, so it’s bozuk cihaz + -ı = bozuk cihazı.
What does tamir etmek için mean and why is it structured that way?
-mek için is the “in order to” infinitive construction. You take the verb root (tamir et-) + -mek to form the infinitive, then add için to express purpose: “in order to repair.”
What is gereken, and how is it different from gerekli?
Gereken is the participle form of gerekmek (“to be necessary”), meaning “that which is needed.” Gerekli is an adjective meaning “necessary” in a general sense. Here tamir etmek için gereken ücret literally means “the fee that is needed for repairing.”
Why does the sentence say ücret ve zaman miktarını instead of simply ücreti ve zamanı?
Miktar means “amount” or “quantity” and clarifies you’re quantifying both money and time. Zaman by itself can be abstract, whereas zaman miktarı explicitly means “the amount of time.”
What is the grammatical function of incelemeniz, and why does it have the suffix -siniz?
Inceleme is the noun “examination,” and -niz is the second-person possessive, so incelemeniz means “your examining.” This noun clause serves as the subject of şarttır: “It is obligatory that you examine…”
How does şarttır convey necessity, and why not use gerekli or zorunludur?
Şarttır comes from şart (“condition”) + the third-person copula -tır, literally “it is a condition.” It’s a formal/legal style way to express “it is mandatory.” Gerekli or zorunludur are alternatives but carry a slightly different tone (more neutral or strong obligation).
Who is the implied subject in this sentence?
The sentence is impersonal and addresses “you” (either singular formal or plural). Grammatically, incelemeniz (“your examining”) is the subject, so it implies that you must carry out the examination.
