Questions & Answers about Bilgisayarım ofiste internete bağlanır.
Why does bağlanır use the -ır suffix for the aorist here?
The verb root here is bağlan- (to connect). Because this root has more than one syllable (bağ-lan) and ends in a consonant, it takes the -Ir form of the aorist suffix. Following four-way vowel harmony, the 'a' in the root gives us -ır.
I know the verb bağlamak means to connect. Why is the verb bağlanmak used here?
Why does the word internet take the -e suffix here?
The verb bağlanmak requires the dative case, which shows direction. Just like in English where we say connect to the internet, Turkish adds the direction suffix -e to make internete.
Just to be sure, why is it ofiste and not ofisde?
