Questions & Answers about Sekreter dosyaları kopyalasın ve düzenlesin.
How is the meaning "let the secretary..." created in the verbs kopyalasın and düzenlesin?
This is the 3rd person imperative mood. We take the verb roots kopyala- (copy) and düzenle- (organize) and add the suffix -sın or -sin. This translates to "let him/her [verb]" or "he/she should [verb]". Vowel harmony tells us to use -sın after the 'a' in kopyala- and -sin after the 'e' in düzenle-.
Why do we say dosyaları instead of just dosyalar?
Dosyalar means "files" (plural). We add the accusative case suffix -ı at the end because these are specific files being copied and organized. Whenever a verb's direct object is specific ("the files" rather than just "files"), we must add this suffix.
I see kopya (copy) in kopyalasın. How does the word change into a verb?
You spotted it! Turkish often turns nouns into verbs using the suffix -la or -le. Here, kopya (a copy) becomes kopyala- (to copy), and düzen (order) becomes düzenle- (to organize or put in order). Then we add the imperative ending to that new verb root.
