Lütfen sandalyeyi biraz sola çek.

A word-by-word breakdown is:

• Lütfen = please
• sandalyeyi = the chair (as the direct object)
• biraz = a little, slightly
• sola = to the left
• çek = pull / move (imperative: pull!, move!)

So the sentence means something like Please move the chair a little to the left.

Because sandalyeyi is the definite direct object form of sandalye.

• sandalye = chair
• sandalyeyi = the chair / the chair as the thing being acted on

In Turkish, when a specific object is being affected by the verb, it often takes the accusative ending. Here, the speaker means a particular chair, not just any chair.

The ending is:

• sandalye
  • -yi → sandalyeyi

This is very common in Turkish:

• Kitabı oku = Read the book
• Kapıyı aç = Open the door
• Sandalyeyi çek = Move/pull the chair

That y is a buffer consonant.

When Turkish adds a vowel-starting ending to a word that already ends in a vowel, it often inserts y to make pronunciation easier.

So:

• sandalye ends in a vowel sound
• the accusative ending here is -i
• Turkish inserts y
• result: sandalyeyi

This happens a lot:

• masa → masayı
• arabа → arabayı
• sandalyе → sandalyeyi

Because sola means to the left, while sol by itself means left.

The ending -a / -e is often used to show direction toward something.

So:

• sol = left
• sola = to the left

In this sentence, the chair is being moved in the direction of the left, so Turkish uses sola.

Similar examples:

• sağa = to the right
• eve = to the house / home
• okula = to school

Çek is the imperative form of the verb çekmek.

• çekmek = to pull, to draw, sometimes to move by pulling
• çek = pull! / move!

In this sentence, it is a command or request directed at you.

Because lütfen is included, it sounds like a polite request rather than a harsh command:

• Sandalyeyi çek. = Move the chair.
• Lütfen sandalyeyi çek. = Please move the chair.

It is polite enough in many everyday situations, especially because it uses lütfen.

However, çek is the informal singular imperative, used with one person in a casual or neutral context.

If you want to be more polite or address:

• someone formally, or
• more than one person,

you would usually say:

• Lütfen sandalyeyi biraz sola çekin.

Here, çekin is the more polite / plural imperative form.

So:

• çek = informal singular
• çekin = polite singular or plural

Biraz means a little, slightly, or a bit.

It softens the request and gives a more precise instruction. Without biraz, the sentence means:

• Lütfen sandalyeyi sola çek. = Please move the chair to the left.

With biraz, it becomes:

• Lütfen sandalyeyi biraz sola çek. = Please move the chair a little to the left.

So biraz tells the listener not to move it too far.

Yes. Turkish word order is flexible, although some orders sound more neutral than others.

The most neutral order here is:

• Lütfen sandalyeyi biraz sola çek.

But you may also hear:

• Sandalyeyi biraz sola çek, lütfen.
• Biraz sola sandalyeyi çek.
  This is possible, but less neutral and more marked.

In Turkish, the verb often comes at the end, especially in standard sentence structure. That is why çek is final here.

Yes, çekmek often literally means to pull. But in everyday Turkish, it can also be used when you move something by pulling or dragging it into position.

So with furniture:

• sandalyeyi çekmek can mean pull the chair or simply move the chair, depending on context

English often prefers move in translation, because that sounds more natural in many situations.

If you physically slide the chair toward a new position, çekmek is very natural in Turkish.

Sometimes, yes, but the meaning changes a bit.

• çekmek = pull, draw toward, sometimes slide
• itmek = push

So it depends on how the chair is being moved.

• Sandalyeyi sola çek. = move it left by pulling it
• Sandalyeyi sola it. = move it left by pushing it

In many real situations, either could be possible depending on where the speaker and chair are positioned.

It is pronounced roughly like:

san-dal-ye-yi

The important thing is that both ye and yi are pronounced clearly. The y is not silent.

A rough English-style approximation is: sahn-dahl-YEY-yee

But it is best to think of it in Turkish syllables:

• san
• dal
• ye
• yi

Yes. Lütfen is flexible.

All of these are possible:

• Lütfen sandalyeyi biraz sola çek.
• Sandalyeyi lütfen biraz sola çek.
• Sandalyeyi biraz sola çek, lütfen.

The first one is very common and neutral. Putting lütfen at the end can sometimes sound a little more conversational.

Turkish usually does not use articles like the and a/an in the same way English does.

Instead, definiteness is often shown by context and grammar. In this sentence, sandalyeyi sounds like the chair because:

• it is a specific object
• it takes the accusative ending -yi

So Turkish does not need a separate word for the here. The grammar already helps express that meaning.
