Breakdown of Ben yazıcıyı bilgisayara bağlıyorum.
Questions & Answers about Ben yazıcıyı bilgisayara bağlıyorum.
Because you’re marking yazıcı as a definite direct object. In Turkish, specific/definite objects take the accusative suffix -ı/-i/-u/-ü. Here:
- yazıcı (printer)
- add the buffer consonant y (because the word ends in a vowel)
- add the accusative -ı
→ yazıcı- y
- ı = yazıcıyı (“the printer”).
- y
That’s the dative case (“to/into”). The verb bağlamak (“to connect”) takes its target in the dative. You form the dative by adding -a/-e to a noun (vowel-harmonized). So:
bilgisayar + a → bilgisayara = “to the computer.”
