Questions & Answers about Gitmek için izin aldım.
Why is için used after the infinitive verb gitmek?
When you pair a full infinitive verb (like gitmek) with için (which normally means "for"), it translates to "in order to" or simply "to" do something. So gitmek için literally means "in order to go".
Why doesn't izin have an accusative case ending, like izni?
In this sentence, you are talking about getting permission in general, not a specific, previously mentioned permission. When a direct object is general and indefinite like this, it does not take the accusative case ending and sits right next to the verb.
I learned that almak means "to take" or "to buy". Why is it translated as "got" here?
Almak is a very versatile verb! Along with "to take" and "to buy", it is also the standard verb for "to receive" or "to get". In Turkish, you literally "take" permission (izin almak).
