Questions & Answers about Yeni proje planına başarı ölçütleri de dahil edilmelidir.
What does the suffix -melidir mean, and how does it modify the verb dahil edilmelidir?
The suffix -meli/-malı expresses necessity or obligation (English “must/should”). Adding -dir at the end gives a neutral, formal tone. So:
- dahil etmek = to include
- dahil edilmek = to be included (passive infinitive)
- dahil edilmelidir = it must be included / it should be included
How is the passive voice formed in dahil edilmelidir, and why is edil used here?
To make dahil etmek passive, insert -il- (or -n-) between the stem and personal endings:
• Active: dahil etmek
• Passive: dahil edilmek
Then add the necessity suffix -meli and the formal marker -dir → dahil edilmelidir.
We use edil because etmek (“to do/make”) becomes edilmek in passive.
Why does planına carry the suffix -na, and what case is that?
-na (or -a/ -e, by vowel harmony) is the dative case marker, meaning “to” or “into.”
- plan (root)
- -ı (3rd person singular possessive = “its plan”)
- -na (dative = “to/into its”)
→ planına = “to the plan.”
