Questions & Answers about Sayfanın en altına kaydırıp dosya eklemeyi unutmayın.

What does "Sayfanın en altına" literally mean, and how is it built?

It literally means "to the very bottom of the page." Structure: sayfa-nın en alt-ı-na

• sayfa = page
• -nın = genitive (of)
• en = most/very (superlative intensifier)
• alt = bottom/underside
• -ı = 3rd-person possessive (its bottom)
• -na = dative case (to)
• The n before -a is a buffer consonant for smooth pronunciation.

Why is the possessor marked as "sayfanın" (genitive)?

Because Turkish expresses "X of Y" with a possessive construction: the possessor takes genitive (sayfa-nın) and the possessed noun takes a 3rd-person possessive suffix (alt-ı = its bottom). Together: sayfanın altı = the bottom of the page.

What does "en" add here?

en is a superlative/intensifier. alt = bottom; en alt = the lowest/the very bottom. Without en, sayfanın altına is still "to the bottom (of the page)," but en emphasizes going all the way down.

Why is it "altına" and not just "altı"?

The dative -e/-a (here -na due to a buffer n) marks motion “to/toward” a goal. altı = its bottom; altına = to its bottom. You need the dative because the verb implies movement to a location.
