Questions & Answers about Uygulama bir hata vermek üzere.
How does vermek üzere translate to "about to give"?
The pattern -mAk üzere is used to show that an action is imminent, translating to "about to" or "on the verge of" doing something. You simply take the full dictionary infinitive of the verb, which is vermek (to give) here, and follow it with the word üzere.
In English, a computer program usually "has" or "makes" an error. Why is the verb vermek (to give) used here?
In Turkish, the standard fixed phrase for a machine, software, or system producing an error is hata vermek (literally "to give an error"). You will hear this collocation very often when people talk about computers, phones, or websites.
Where is the verb "is" in this sentence? Why does it just end with üzere?
In Turkish, the third-person singular "is" often doesn't require a visible suffix. Because "the application" is a "it", you can leave the end blank, and the "is" is naturally understood. If you wanted to sound slightly more formal or factual, you could add the suffix -dir, making it vermek üzeredir.
Does the word uygulama only refer to software apps?
No, it is a broader word that means "application" or "implementation" in a general sense (like the application of a new rule). It comes from the verb uygulamak (to apply/implement). However, in modern daily life, it is the exact word you use for smartphone "apps".
