Questions & Answers about Çocuk bağırıyorsa görevli kimi uyarıyor?
How is the 'if' part formed in bağırıyorsa?
This is the present continuous conditional, which you are learning right now! It breaks down into the verb root bağır- (shout) + -ıyor (present continuous 'is doing') + -sa (conditional 'if'). Because there is no personal suffix at the very end, it refers to the third-person 'he/she/it'. Together, it means 'if [he/she/it] is shouting'.
Why use kimi instead of just kim?
Kimi is the accusative form of kim (who). Because the attendant is warning a specific person, that person is the direct object of the verb uyarmak (to warn). In Turkish, specific direct objects take the accusative ending, so kim becomes kimi (whom).
Where does the word görevli (attendant) come from?
It comes from the noun görev, which means 'duty' or 'task'. By adding the suffix -li (which means 'having' or 'with'), it becomes görevli—literally 'the one with the duty'. It is commonly used to mean an attendant, official, or person in charge.
