Questions & Answers about Lütfen sayfayı en alta kaydırın, onay kutusunu işaretleyin.

Why is it sayfayı and not sayfa?

Because sayfayı is in the accusative case, marking a specific/definite direct object. It’s sayfa + -(y)ı:

• The vowel is -ı (not -i) due to vowel harmony (last vowel of sayfa is a back vowel).
• The buffer letter y appears because the noun ends in a vowel. If the object were indefinite, you’d drop the accusative: Bir sayfa kaydırın = “Scroll a page” (rare, and usually not what you want in UI text).

What does en alta mean, and why is it -a (alta) rather than -ta (altta)?

En alta means “to the very bottom.” The -a/-e ending is the dative case, used for movement toward a goal. -ta/-te (locative) means “at/in/on” a place. So:

• en alta = to the bottom (direction)
• en altta = at the bottom (location) With a motion verb like kaydırmak (to scroll/slide), you need the directional dative: en alta kaydırın.

What does en add here?

En is a superlative/intensifier meaning “most/very.” With location words it gives the extreme point:

• en alt = the very bottom
• en üst = the very top
• en son = the very end So en alta = “to the very bottom.”

What does the -ın/-yin ending in kaydırın and işaretleyin express? Am I addressing one person or more than one?
