Havuçları soydum, sonra bezelyeyi tencereye ekledim.

Yes:

• havuçları = the carrots
  • havuç = carrot
  • -lar = plural
  • -ı = accusative case, marking a specific direct object
• soydum = I peeled
  • from soymak = to peel
• sonra = then / afterwards
• bezelyeyi = the peas
  • bezelye = pea / peas
  • -yi = accusative case, with buffer y
• tencereye = to / into the pot
  • tencere = pot
  • -ye = dative case, with buffer y
• ekledim = I added
  • from eklemek = to add

So the structure is basically:

Havuçları soydum, sonra bezelyeyi tencereye ekledim.
= I peeled the carrots, then I added the peas to the pot.

Because Turkish normally prefers Subject-Object-Verb order, while English usually uses Subject-Verb-Object.

In English:

• I peeled the carrots
• I added the peas to the pot

In Turkish:

• I the carrots peeled
• I the peas to the pot added

That is why the verbs soydum and ekledim come at the ends of their clauses.

Turkish word order is also fairly flexible, so other versions are possible for emphasis, such as:

• Sonra bezelyeyi tencereye ekledim.

But the version you were given is very normal and natural.

Because the verb ending already tells you the subject.

• soydum = I peeled
• ekledim = I added

The -m at the end shows first person singular: I.

Turkish often drops subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb. So:

• Ben havuçları soydum = I peeled the carrots
• Havuçları soydum = I peeled the carrots

Both are correct, but the version without ben is more natural unless you want emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

Because havuçları is a specific direct object.

Here is the breakdown:

• havuç = carrot
• havuçlar = carrots
• havuçları = the carrots / specific carrots

The ending -ı is the accusative case. In Turkish, a direct object often takes the accusative when it is definite or specific.

Compare:

• Havuç soydum. = I peeled carrots.
  This sounds more general, like some carrots.
• Havuçları soydum. = I peeled the carrots.
  This refers to particular carrots.

One extra note: havuçları can also mean his/her carrots in another context, because that form can be ambiguous. But in this sentence, it clearly means the carrots.

For the same reason: it is a specific direct object, so it takes the accusative.

• bezelye = pea / peas
• bezelyeyi = the peas

The ending here is -yi rather than just -i because bezelye ends in a vowel. Turkish inserts a buffer consonant y between two vowels:

• bezelye + i would be awkward
• so it becomes bezelye + y + i = bezelyeyi

Compare:

• Bezelye ekledim. = I added peas / some peas.
• Bezelyeyi ekledim. = I added the peas.

Because tencereye is the noun tencere with the dative case, which often means to or into.

• tencere = pot
• tencereye = to the pot / into the pot

Again, Turkish uses a buffer y because the noun ends in a vowel:

• tencere + e becomes tencere + y + e
• so: tencereye

In this sentence, tencereye ekledim means I added it to the pot or into the pot.

They are both built from:

verb stem + past tense + person ending

1. soydum

From soymak = to peel

• remove -mak → soy-
• add past tense → -du
• add I ending → -m

So:

• soy-du-m = I peeled

2. ekledim

From eklemek = to add

• remove -mek → ekle-
• add past tense → -di
• add I ending → -m

So:

• ekle-di-m = I added

The vowel in the past tense suffix changes because of vowel harmony:

• -dı / -di / -du / -dü

That is why you get:

• soydu- with u
• ekledi- with i

Sonra means then, after that, or afterwards.

It connects the two actions in time:

1. Havuçları soydum = I peeled the carrots
2. sonra bezelyeyi tencereye ekledim = then I added the peas to the pot

So it shows the sequence of actions.

It is a very common and simple way to link events in Turkish.

You may also see longer structures such as:

• Havuçları soyduktan sonra bezelyeyi tencereye ekledim.

That means roughly:

• After peeling the carrots, I added the peas to the pot.

But sonra is the simpler everyday option.

Because in Turkish, some food words are often used as collective or mass-like nouns in cooking contexts.

So bezelye can mean:

• pea
• peas
• some peas
• the peas

The exact meaning depends on context and suffixes.

In a recipe or cooking sentence, bezelye often works like an ingredient name, so using the singular-looking base form is normal.

That is why:

• bezelyeyi ekledim naturally means I added the peas

Even though English prefers the plural peas, Turkish does not always need an obvious plural form here. Using bezelyeler is possible in some contexts, but in cooking it often sounds less natural than plain bezelye.

A useful basic rule is:

• Accusative marks the direct object: the thing directly affected by the verb.
• Dative often marks direction or destination: to, toward, into.

In this sentence:

• havuçları = the carrots
  Direct object of peel
• bezelyeyi = the peas
  Direct object of add
• tencereye = to the pot / into the pot
  Destination of the adding

So:

• What did I peel? → the carrots → accusative
• What did I add? → the peas → accusative
• Where did I add them? → into the pot → dative

That is the core logic.
