Questions & Answers about Akla yatkın her iddia doğru değildir.

What does akla yatkın mean literally, and what does it mean in this sentence?

Literally, akla means to the mind or to reason, and yatkın means inclined, suited, or fitting. Together, akla yatkın is a common expression meaning plausible, reasonable, or believable.

So here it describes a claim that seems convincing or reasonable to the mind.

Why is it akla and not akıl?

Because yatkın normally takes the dative case, so the noun before it becomes akla = to the mind.

The base noun is akıl. When the dative ending -a / -e is added, it becomes akla. This is also a good example of a common sound change in Turkish: the unstressed vowel in akıl drops before a vowel-initial ending.

• akıl = mind, reason
• akla = to the mind

Why is iddia singular after her?

In Turkish, her means every or each, and it is followed by a singular noun.

So:

• her iddia = every claim
• not her iddialar

This is similar to English every claim, not every claims.
