Questions & Answers about Büyük dağlar iklimi çok etkiler.
How does the aorist (simple present) suffix work in etkiler?
The verb root is etkile- (to affect), which ends in a vowel. When a verb root ends in a vowel, you just add -r to make it simple present (aorist). So, etkile + r gives us etkiler.
Since dağlar (mountains) is plural, why doesn't the verb have a plural suffix like etkilerler?
In Turkish, if the plural subject is not human (like mountains, animals, or objects), the verb usually stays in the singular form. That is why we use etkiler instead of etkilerler.
Why does iklim have an -i on the end?
The word iklim (climate) takes the accusative case suffix -i because it is the specific direct object of the verb. It shows exactly what is being affected. When a direct object is specific (like "the climate"), it needs this ending.
Why is çok placed right before the verb?
Here, çok means "a lot" and tells us how much the mountains affect the climate. In Turkish, adverbs are typically placed right in front of the verb they modify.
