Questions & Answers about O alışveriş yapacaksa, takvimi ayarlayacağız.
How is yapacaksa formed to mean 'if he is going to'?
It combines the verb root yap (to do) with the future tense suffix -acak and the conditional suffix -sa. Together, yapacaksa means 'if he will do' or 'if he is planning to do'. This shows intention, which is different from yaparsa (if he does).
Why do we use yapacaksa instead of attaching the suffixes directly to alışveriş?
In Turkish, alışveriş is a noun meaning 'shopping'. To turn it into an action, it must be paired with the helper verb yapmak (to do). So, 'to shop' is always alışveriş yapmak, and all the verb suffixes must go on yapmak.
Why is the word for schedule written as takvimi instead of just takvim?
The -i at the end is the specific direct object (accusative) suffix. Because the speakers are talking about adjusting a specific schedule ('the' schedule), we use takvimi instead of the plain dictionary form takvim.
Why is there a ğ in ayarlayacağız instead of a k?
