Questions & Answers about Raporları düzenlesinler ve bize iletsinler.
How is the "let them" meaning formed in düzenlesinler and iletsinler?
To give a command or suggestion for "them" (third person plural), we take the verb root and add the suffix -sinler (or -sınlar, -sunlar, -sünler depending on vowel harmony). Here, the roots are düzenle (to organize) and ilet (to forward), so they become düzenlesinler (let them organize) and iletsinler (let them forward).
Do I need to include the word onlar (they) at the beginning of the sentence?
You can, but it is not necessary. The -sinler suffix at the end of the verbs already tells us that the subject is onlar. In Turkish, subject pronouns are usually dropped unless you want to add extra emphasis.
Why does raporları end with an -ı?
The base word is rapor (report) and -lar makes it plural. The final -ı is the accusative case suffix. We use it because "the reports" are the specific direct object being organized. If you were talking about organizing reports in general, you would just say rapor düzenlesinler without the specific case ending.
Why do we use bize instead of bizi for "us"?
The verb iletmek (to forward, to convey) requires the dative case for the recipient of the action. The dative case shows direction (to/towards). So, "to forward to us" translates as bize iletsinler, where biz (we/us) takes the dative suffix -e.
