### Third-Person Commands (Let him / Let it)

In Turkish, you can give an indirect order or instruction about a third party. This translates to "Let him [do it]", "Have her [do it]", or "Let it [happen]", and is especially useful for delegating tasks.

To form the third-person singular imperative, add the suffix **-sın** to the verb stem. This suffix follows four-way vowel harmony (**-sın, -sin, -sun, -sün**).

| Verb Stem | Vowel Harmony | Suffix | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| yap- (do) | a, ı | -sın | yapsın (let him do) |
| git- (go) | e, i | -sin | gitsin (let him go) |
| oku- (read) | o, u | -sun | okusun (let him read) |
| gör- (see) | ö, ü | -sün | görsün (let him see) |

Collective nouns that represent a group—like *ekip* (team) or *personel* (staff)—are grammatically singular and take this singular ending.

You can use this form on multiple verbs in a single sentence to give a sequence of instructions.

### Plural Third-Person Commands (Let them)

For plural third-party instructions, attach the plural suffix **-lar** or **-ler** to the singular imperative form (**-sınlar**, **-sinler**, **-sunlar**, or **-sünler**).

{{item:800065}}

Pronouns like *herkes* (everybody) are grammatically singular and take the singular ending, even though they refer to multiple people.

{{item:800066}}

If the subject is obvious from context, you can drop the pronoun entirely.

{{item:800068}}

If a plural subject is explicitly stated (like *misafirler* or *gruplar*), using the plural suffix on the verb is optional but emphasizes that multiple individuals are involved.
