Questions & Answers about Panik yapmazlarsa, problemi hemen çözüyoruz.
How do we get yapmazlarsa from the verb yapmak?
It combines the negative aorist tense with the conditional. First, we take yapmak (to do) and form the negative aorist for 'they': yapmazlar (they don't do). Then, we add the conditional suffix -sa (if). Together, yapmazlarsa means 'if they don't do'.
Why is 'panic' expressed with the verb yapmak (to do)?
In Turkish, 'to panic' is a compound verb formed with a noun and a helper verb: panik yapmak (literally 'to do panic'). Because of this, the negative conditional endings are attached to yapmak.
Why is there an -i at the end of problemi?
The -i is the accusative case suffix. It marks the word as a specific direct object receiving the action of the verb çözüyoruz (we are solving). It shows we are talking about 'the' specific problem.
Why use the present continuous çözüyoruz (we are solving) for something that will happen after they don't panic?
Just like in English, Turkish often uses the present continuous tense (-iyor) to talk about immediate or very certain future actions. Paired with hemen (right away), it shows that solving the problem is the immediate result.
