Questions & Answers about Çekimi bitirmek için hızlı çalışabiliriz.
Since bitmek already means 'to finish', why do we use bitirmek here?
Bitmek is an intransitive verb meaning 'to end' or 'to finish' on its own (like 'The movie finished'). To say you are finishing something, you use its causative form bitirmek (literally 'to make it finish'). Because the base verb bitmek is intransitive, the thing being finished (the causee) takes the accusative case. This is why we see the accusative çekimi here.
What is the root of çekimi?
The root is çekim, which means 'shooting' or 'filming' (derived from çekmek, to shoot/pull). It takes the accusative suffix -i because it is the specific direct object of the verb bitirmek (to finish the shooting).
How does için work in this sentence?
When için (for) comes immediately after a verb in its dictionary form (the infinitive ending in -mak or -mek), it translates to 'in order to'. So, bitirmek için simply means 'in order to finish'.
