Questions & Answers about Grubumuz burada ve dosyalarınız hazır.
Why is it grubumuz instead of grupumuz?
The root word is grup (group). When a suffix starting with a vowel is added, like the our suffix -umuz, the hard consonant p softens to a b. This is called consonant mutation and makes the word easier to pronounce.
How do you build a word like dosyalarınız?
You attach suffixes to the root word in a specific order: first the plural, then the possessive. Start with dosya (file), add the plural suffix -lar to get dosyalar (files), and finally add the plural your suffix -ınız to get dosyalarınız (your files).
Why does the our suffix use a u (-umuz) but the your suffix uses an ı (-ınız)?
This is due to 4-way vowel harmony. The possessive suffix changes its vowel to match the last vowel of the word it attaches to. Because grup has the vowel u, its suffix takes a u to become -umuz. But the last vowel in dosyalar is a, so its suffix takes an ı to become -ınız.
Where are the words for is and are in this sentence?
In Turkish present tense sentences, you generally do not need a word for is or are for third-person subjects (like it or they). Just saying grubumuz burada (our group here) and dosyalarınız hazır (your files ready) is grammatically complete.
