Questions & Answers about Elektronik tabloyu güncellemeden önce verileri kontrol etmeliyiz.
Why is it tabloyu and not just tablo?
The -yu ending marks tablo as the definite direct object.
- tablo = table / chart / spreadsheet
- tabloyu = the table / the spreadsheet as the thing being acted on
In this sentence, the spreadsheet is a specific thing that we are updating, so Turkish uses the accusative ending.
The ending appears as -yu because:
- the word ends in a vowel, so Turkish adds a buffer consonant: y
- the accusative vowel changes by vowel harmony: -ı / -i / -u / -ü
- tablo takes -u, so: tablo + y + u = tabloyu
