Dosyanın yedeklemesini yapıp onu doğru dizine kaydettim.

Because dosyanın is in the genitive case, which often marks the “owner” of something.

Here, dosyanın yedeklemesi literally means something like the file’s backup / the backup of the file.

So the structure is:

• dosya = file
• dosyanın = of the file
• yedeklemesi = its backup / the backup

This kind of genitive + possessed noun structure is very common in Turkish.

Turkish often uses a noun + yapmak structure where English might prefer a single verb.

So:

• yedeklemek = to back up
• yedekleme yapmak = to do a backup / to perform a backup

Both are possible in Turkish, but noun + yapmak can sound a bit more procedural, technical, or formal in some contexts.

So this sentence could also have been expressed with something like Dosyayı yedekleyip..., but dosyanın yedeklemesini yapıp... is perfectly natural.

This word has several pieces:

• yedekle- = backup
• -me = verbal noun / action noun marker
• -si = 3rd person possessive
• -ni = accusative case

So:

• yedeklemesi = its backup / the backup of it
• yedeklemesini = its backup (as a definite direct object)

In full context:

• dosyanın yedeklemesini yapmak = to do the backup of the file

This is a good example of how Turkish can pack a lot of grammar into one word.

Because in Turkish, when you have a genitive possessor, the possessed noun usually also takes a possessive suffix.

This is the standard pattern:

• Ali’nin kitabı = Ali’s book
• dosyanın yedeklemesi = the file’s backup

So even though English just says the backup of the file, Turkish marks both parts:

• possessor: dosyanın
• possessed thing: yedeklemesi

That double marking is normal and expected in Turkish.

Because it is the definite direct object of yapmak.

In Turkish, definite/specific direct objects usually take the accusative case.

Here the object is not just any backup, but the backup of the file, a specific one. So:

• yedeklemesi = the backup
• yedeklemesini = the backup (as a definite object)

The same principle applies in sentences like:

• kitabı okudum = I read the book
• raporu hazırladım = I prepared the report

Yapıp is the verb yapmak plus the converb ending -ıp / -ip / -up / -üp.

It means something like:

• doing X and...
• after doing X...
• having done X...

So yedeklemesini yapıp onu doğru dizine kaydettim means that the first action happens before or along with the second:

1. I did the backup
2. I saved it to the correct directory

This -ıp/-ip form is very common for linking actions in Turkish.

Not always exactly, but very often it gives that feeling.

The -ıp/-ip form connects actions, usually when the subject is the same in both clauses. Depending on context, it can suggest:

• simple sequence: did X and then did Y
• close connection: did X and did Y
• manner or accompanying action

In this sentence, the most natural reading is sequential: the speaker first made the backup, then saved it.

Yes, it could often be omitted if the meaning is already clear.

Turkish frequently drops pronouns when the reference is obvious. But onu is used here to make the object explicit:

• onu = it / that

So the sentence specifically says the speaker saved it to the correct directory.

Including onu can help with clarity, especially after a longer phrase like dosyanın yedeklemesini yapıp. It makes the second object easier to track.

Here doğru means correct / proper / right.

So:

• doğru dizin = the correct directory
• doğru dizine = to the correct directory

It is just an adjective modifying dizin.

Learners sometimes confuse this with -e doğru, which means toward. But that is a different structure. Here, doğru is simply describing the directory.

Because kaydetmek often takes the place/destination in the dative case when you save something to somewhere.

So:

• dizin = directory
• dizine = to the directory

This works like:

• dosyayı masaüstüne kaydet = save the file to the desktop
• belgeyi klasöre kaydettim = I saved the document to the folder

The -e / -a ending often marks direction or destination.

It comes from kaydetmek = to save / record.

The form breaks down as:

• kaydet- = verb stem
• -ti = past tense
• -m = first person singular

So kaydettim = I saved.

The doubled tt is normal in writing here because the stem ends in t and the past tense marker also begins with t in this form.

Because Turkish is generally a verb-final language.

That means the main finite verb usually comes last:

• background or earlier action first
• objects and other information before the verb
• main verb at the end

So the structure is roughly:

• Dosyanın yedeklemesini yapıp = having made the backup of the file
• onu doğru dizine = it to the correct directory
• kaydettim = I saved

This is very normal Turkish word order.

Yes. A more compact alternative would be:

• Dosyayı yedekleyip onu doğru dizine kaydettim.

That version uses the direct verb yedeklemek instead of the noun phrase yedeklemesini yapmak.

The difference is mostly stylistic:

• yedekleyip = shorter, more direct
• yedeklemesini yapıp = slightly more formal/technical/procedural sounding

Both are grammatical and natural, depending on tone and context.
