Questions & Answers about Kutudaki parçalar karışık ama rehbere bakarak montajı tamamlayacağız.

What does kutudaki mean and how is it formed?

Kutudaki breaks down into kutu (box) + locative suffix -da (in) + the adjective‐forming suffix -ki. Together it literally means “that which is in the box,” so kutudaki parçalar = “the parts in the box.”

Could I say kutunun içindeki parçalar instead of kutudaki parçalar?

Yes. Kutunun içindeki parçalar (“the parts inside the box”) uses a genitive + -deki construction (kutunun içi + -ndeki), whereas kutudaki is a shorter alternative. Both mean essentially the same thing.

What does karışık mean here, and is it a verb form?

Karışık is an adjective meaning “mixed up” or “jumbled.” It describes the state of the parts. It’s not a verb form or participle—just a descriptive adjective.

Why is rehbere in the dative case, and what role does -arak play in bakarak?

The verb bakmak (“to look”) requires its object in the dative, so rehbere = “to/at the manual.” The suffix -arak turns the verb into an adverbial participle meaning “by doing,” so bakarak = “by looking.” Combined, rehbere bakarak = “by looking at the manual.”

Why is montajı in the accusative case?
