Questions & Answers about Bu projeye emek verdikçe sonuç daha da güzel oluyor.
Why is it projeye and not projeyi?
Because emek vermek takes the dative case, not the accusative.
- proje = project
- projeye = to the project / into the project
In Turkish, emek vermek literally means to give effort, and the thing receiving that effort is marked with -e / -a.
So:
- Bu projeye emek vermek = to put effort into this project
Using projeyi here would not fit the verb pattern.
What does emek vermek mean exactly?
It is a very common Turkish expression meaning:
- to put effort into
- to work hard on
- to invest labor in
Literally, it is:
- emek = labor, effort
- vermek = to give
So the literal idea is to give effort, but in natural English you would usually translate it as put effort into or work hard on.
