Questions & Answers about Katılımcılar ürünleri deneyip bazılarını beğendi.
Can you break down the suffixes in bazılarını?
Sure! It starts with bazı (some). We add the 3rd person plural possessive suffix -ları to get bazıları (some of them). Finally, because it is the specific direct object of the verb beğendi (liked), we must add the accusative case suffix -ı using the buffer letter -n-, resulting in bazılarını.
What does the -ip suffix in deneyip mean?
The -(y)ip suffix connects two verbs that happen in a sequence, working just like the word 'and'. Instead of repeating the grammar by saying denediler ve beğendiler (they tried and they liked), Turkish smoothly combines them into deneyip beğendi (they tried and liked). The tense and person on the final verb automatically apply to the first one.
Why does ürünleri have an -i at the end?
This is the accusative case, which marks a specific direct object. Because the participants tried the products (rather than just trying 'products' in general), we add the accusative suffix -i to the plural word ürünler.
Since the subject is plural (Katılımcılar), shouldn't the verb be beğendiler instead of beğendi?
It could be! For human subjects, if the subject word already has the plural -lar or -ler suffix, making the verb plural is optional. Both beğendi and beğendiler are correct here, but leaving the plural suffix off the verb is very common to avoid sounding repetitive.
