Questions & Answers about Patron planı reddetmezse, başlıyoruz.
How does reddetmezse break down into suffixes?
It comes from the verb reddetmek (to reject). We drop the -mek and add -mez, which is the negative aorist suffix for "doesn't". Then we add -se, which is the conditional suffix for "if". Together, reddetmezse means "if he doesn't reject".
Why does plan have an -ı at the end?
The suffix -ı is the accusative case marker. Because the boss is rejecting a specific plan ("the plan"), it acts as the direct object of the verb. Therefore, plan becomes planı.
The root verb is başlamak (to start). Why is it spelled başlıyoruz?
This is a vowel change rule triggered by the present continuous suffix -yor. When a verb root ends in -a or -e (like başla-), adding -yor forces that vowel to narrow into -ı, -i, -u, or -ü to match vowel harmony. So, başla + yor + uz becomes başlıyoruz.
The translation says "we are starting", but aren't we talking about the future?
