Questions & Answers about Ben notları kopyalayıp yeni dosyaya yapıştırdım.

Do I need to say Ben, or can I drop it?

You can drop it. The ending -dım on yapıştırdım already tells us the subject is first-person singular. Including Ben adds emphasis (I, as opposed to someone else) or contrast.

What does the suffix -Ip in kopyalayıp do?

It’s a converb that links verbs, roughly “and (then).” It means the actions are done by the same subject in sequence: “copy (and) paste.” Only the final verb carries tense/polarity/person; the -Ip verb is untensed.

Why is there a y in both kopyalayıp and dosyaya?

It’s a buffer consonant inserted to avoid two vowels colliding:

• kopyala + ıp → kopyalayıp
• dosya + a → dosyaya Turkish inserts y when a suffix beginning with a vowel follows a vowel-final stem.

Why is it notları and not notlar?

Because the direct object is specific/definite, it takes the accusative: -ı/‑i/‑u/‑ü → not-lar-ı. If the object were indefinite, you would not use the accusative (e.g., birkaç not kopyalayıp…, “copy a few notes…”).
