Questions & Answers about İyi rol yapanlar gerçekten yetenekli.
How does yapanlar mean "those who act"?
The verb here is yapmak (to do/make). We add the subject relative clause suffix -an to get yapan (the one who does). Because we are talking about people in general, we omit the noun (like insanlar, meaning people) and attach the plural suffix -lar directly to the participle. So, yapanlar means "the doers" or "those who do".
Why does the sentence use yapmak (to do) for acting?
In Turkish, the phrase for "to act" or "to play a role" is rol yapmak (literally "to do a role"). When combined with the grammar from this lesson, rol yapanlar means "those who act".
Why is it iyi and not a specific adverb form for "well"?
How does the word gerçekten break down?
It comes from gerçek (real/true) plus the ablative suffix -ten (from). In Turkish, adding -dan/-den (or -tan/-ten) to certain adjectives is a common way to turn them into adverbs. So "from real" becomes "really" or "truly".
What is the root of yetenekli?
The root is the noun yetenek (talent or ability). The suffix -li means "with" or "having". So yetenekli literally means "with talent", which translates to the English adjective "talented".
