Questions & Answers about Stajyer olarak başlayan kişi sorunu çözdü.
How exactly does olarak mean "as" in this sentence?
Olarak is placed immediately after the noun stajyer (intern) to mean "as an intern." It comes from the verb olmak (to be) plus the suffix -arak, which creates an adverb meaning "by doing." Literally, it means "by being an intern," but it is the standard Turkish way to express someone's role or capacity.
How does başlayan translate to "who started"?
Başlayan uses the subject participle suffix -(y)an, which B1 learners have seen before to make "who/which" clauses. It attaches to the verb başlamak (to start) to turn it into an adjective. Here, it modifies the noun kişi (person), creating the phrase başlayan kişi (the person who started).
Why is stajyer olarak placed before başlayan?
In Turkish, descriptive phrases always come before the word they modify. The phrase stajyer olarak (as an intern) describes exactly how the starting happened, so it must go directly before the participle başlayan (who started) to form the complete chunk stajyer olarak başlayan kişi (the person who started as an intern).
Why is there a -u at the end of sorunu?
