Questions & Answers about Ekteki listede içindekiler ayrıntılı bir şekilde belirtilmiştir.
What does ekteki mean and how is it formed?
Ekteki breaks down into ek (“attachment, appendix”) + locative suffix -te (“in”) + the suffix -ki (forming “the one in/that belongs to”). So ekteki literally means “the one in the attachment,” i.e. attached. In ekteki liste, it means “the attached list.”
Why is it listede instead of liste?
listede is liste (“list”) + locative case suffix -de (which indicates “in/on/at”). Turkish uses the locative to express “in the list.” Hence ekteki listede = “in the attached list.”
What does içindekiler mean and how is it formed?
içindekiler comes from:
- içinde (“inside”)
- -ki (turns it into “the ones inside”)
- plural suffix -ler (“those inside”)
So içindekiler = “contents” (literally “those which are inside”).
- plural suffix -ler (“those inside”)
What is the role of ayrıntılı bir şekilde in the sentence?
It’s an adverbial phrase of manner:
- ayrıntılı = “detailed”
- bir = “a” (indefinite article)
- şekilde = “way, manner”
Together ayrıntılı bir şekilde = “in a detailed manner” or simply “in detail.”
What tense and voice is belirtilmiştir, and what does it mean?
belirtilmiştir is the third person singular, perfect/evidential passive form of belirtmek (“to specify”). Morphologically:
- root belirt- (“specify”)
- passive suffix -il → belirtil-
- evidential/perfective -miş → belirtilmiş-
- formal marker -tir → belirtilmiştir
It means “has been specified.”
Why is the verb placed at the end?
Turkish is an SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) language. Even in passive constructions, modifiers and subjects appear before the verb, which always comes last.
Why use the passive voice here instead of an active one?
The passive (belirtilmiştir) shifts focus onto the contents themselves rather than on who specified them. This impersonal, passive style is common in formal and written Turkish.
