Questions & Answers about Kılavuzda önemli öncelikler listelenmiş.
What does Kılavuzda mean, and why is the -da ending used?
Kılavuz means guide. The suffix -da/-de marks the locative case (where something happens) and translates as in, inside, or at in English. You choose -da or -de according to vowel harmony (here u is a back vowel, so you use -da).
Why is önemli placed before öncelikler, and what function does it serve?
Önemli is an adjective meaning important. In Turkish, adjectives always precede the noun they modify, just like in English. Here önemli qualifies öncelikler (priorities). Adjectives in Turkish do not change form for number or gender.
What does the plural suffix -ler do in öncelikler?
The suffix -ler/-lar makes a noun plural. Öncelik means priority, and adding -ler gives öncelikler, priorities. Vowel harmony decides between -ler (after front vowels) and -lar (after back vowels).
Why isn’t there an accusative -i suffix on öncelikler?
The verb listelenmek (“to be listed”) is passive/intransitive and does not take a direct object in the accusative case. So öncelikler remains in the nominative (unmarked) form.
What kind of verb form is listelenmiş, and what does it express?
Listelenmiş is the passive past participle (or perfect/evidential past form) of listelenmek (“to be listed”). It literally means have/has been listed or were listed.
What does the suffix -miş indicate in this sentence?
The -miş suffix marks the reported or evidential past tense. It suggests the speaker did not personally list the priorities but is reporting or inferring that it happened (e.g., they saw it in the guide).
Why is there no explicit subject in Kılavuzda önemli öncelikler listelenmiş?
Turkish commonly omits subjects when they are understood or in impersonal/passive constructions. Here the focus is on what happened (the listing), not who did it. In English you would say “Important priorities have been listed in the guide,” also without naming an agent.
How flexible is the word order in this sentence? Could you move elements around?
Turkish is fairly flexible, but the default for passive or impersonal statements is Adverbial (locative) – Object – Verb. You could say “Önemli öncelikler kılavuzda listelenmiş” without changing the core meaning, though it slightly shifts emphasis onto öncelikler.
