Questions & Answers about Kendi listelerini müdüre iletsinler.
How does iletsinler translate to "let them forward"?
The verb root is ilet- (to forward or transmit). The suffix -sinler is the 3rd-person plural imperative ending. While the imperative in English is usually a direct command, in the 3rd person in Turkish, it translates to "Let them [do something]" or "Have them [do something]".
Can you break down all the suffixes on listelerini?
Yes! It starts with the noun liste (list). We add -ler for plural (lists), then the possessive -i meaning "their" (their lists). Finally, we add the buffer letter -n- and the accusative case -i. The accusative is needed because "their lists" is the specific direct object being forwarded.
Why use kendi instead of onların (their) here?
Why is there an -e at the end of müdüre?
The verb iletmek (to forward or convey) requires you to show the direction or target of the action. We add the dative case suffix -e (meaning "to") to müdür (manager), making it müdüre (to the manager).
