Questions & Answers about Mühendis her ay ağın şifresini değiştirir.
Why is the aorist ending on değiştirir just -ir instead of -er?
The verb root here is değiştir- (to change something). Because it has more than one syllable (de-ğiş-tir) and ends in a consonant, it takes the -Ir aorist suffix according to this lesson's rule. Since the last vowel in değiştir is i, 4-way vowel harmony makes the suffix -ir, giving us değiştirir.
Why use the aorist tense here instead of the present continuous (değiştiriyor)?
The phrase her ay means "every month." Because this sentence describes a regular, repeated habit rather than an action happening right at this exact moment, it is a perfect match for the aorist tense.
Break down the suffixes on the word şifresini.
The base word is şifre (password). First, we add the possessive suffix -si to link it to ağın (the network's), making it şifresi (its password). Next, because it is the specific thing being changed, it needs the accusative case suffix -i. We use the buffer letter -n- between a possessive suffix and a case suffix, resulting in şifresini.
How does ağın mean "the network's"?
The root word is ağ (network). To show possession (that the password belongs to the network), we add the genitive case suffix -ın. This pairs with the possessive suffix on şifresi to create the linked compound ağın şifresi (the network's password).
