Questions & Answers about Jeotermal enerji santralleri köy ekonomisine büyük artış sağladı.

How is jeotermal formed and what does it mean?

jeotermal comes from Greek roots geo- (earth) + -thermal (heat) and means geothermal. It’s used as an adjective to describe energy drawn from the earth’s interior.

What is the structure of enerji santralleri?

It’s a compound noun made up of:

• enerji (energy)

• plural suffix -ler
  Together enerji santralleri means energy plants or power stations.

How is köy ekonomisine formed and what does it mean?

• köy (village)
• ekonomi (economy)
• possessive suffix -si (its/the)
• dative suffix -ne (to)
  → köy ekonomisine = to the village’s economy.

What does büyük artış mean, and why is there no suffix?

• büyük (big)
• artış (increase), a noun derived from the verb artmak (to increase)
  → büyük artış = big increase.
  No accusative suffix appears because it’s an indefinite direct object (“a big increase”); definite objects would take -ı/-i/-u/-ü.

Why doesn’t sağladı show a plural ending even though the subject is plural?

In Turkish, the third-person plural verb suffix -lar/-ler is optional when context clearly indicates plurality.
sağladı can mean “he/she/it provided” or “they provided.” To explicitly mark the plural you could say sağladılar.

What person and tense is sağladı?

sağladı is formed from:

• root sağla- (to provide)
• simple past marker -dı
• zero ending ∅ for third person
  It translates as provided.

How is the word order in this sentence different from English?

Turkish follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV):

1. Subject: Jeotermal enerji santralleri
2. Indirect object: köy ekonomisine
3. Direct object: büyük artış
4. Verb: sağladı
   In English we’d say “The geothermal power plants provided a big increase to the village economy,” but in Turkish the verb comes last.

Does Turkish use articles like “a” or “the,” and how is that shown here?

Turkish has no separate words for “a/an” or “the.”

• Indefinite direct objects omit the accusative suffix (e.g. büyük artış = “a big increase”).
• Definite direct objects use -ı/-i/-u/-ü (e.g. büyük artışı = “the big increase”).
