Bu means this.
So bu paragraf = this paragraph.
In Turkish, demonstratives like bu usually come before the noun, just like in English:
- bu kitap = this book
- bu konu = this topic
- bu paragraf = this paragraph
Because paragraf is not the direct object here.
In this sentence, paragraf ile means with the paragraph / by means of this paragraph. The word ile marks a tool, means, or accompaniment, so paragraf does not take the accusative ending here.
Compare:
Bu paragrafı okuyabilirsiniz. = You can read this paragraph.
Here paragrafı is the direct object.Bu paragraf ile konuyu örnekleyebilirsiniz. = You can illustrate the topic with this paragraph.
Here paragraf ile means using this paragraph.
