Learn Turkish: Genç tasarımcı, yeni koleksiyonu anlatarak sundu. - The young designer presented the new collection by explaining it.

It uses the adverbial suffix -(y)arak / -(y)erek, which is the focus of this lesson! The verb root is anlat- (to explain or tell). Because its last vowel is "a", it takes -arak to become anlatarak (by explaining).

Why does koleksiyon have a "-u" at the end?

The -u is the accusative case marker. It shows that yeni koleksiyon (the new collection) is the specific direct object of the action. Both verbs in this sentence (anlatmak and sunmak) act on this specific collection, so it needs the accusative ending.

It comes from the noun tasarım (design). The suffix -cı / -ci is added to nouns to describe a profession or someone associated with that thing. It is the same suffix you see in words like öğrenci (student) or şarkıcı (singer).

Why is there a comma after tasarımcı?
