Questions & Answers about Dosyayı sunucuya yüklemek üzereyim.
How is the 'I am about to' structure formed with üzereyim?
It uses the infinitive verb yüklemek (to upload) followed by the word üzere (about to). To show who is about to do the action, you attach a personal suffix directly to üzere. With the buffer letter -y- and the first-person suffix -im, it becomes üzereyim (I am about to).
Why is it dosyayı and not just dosya?
Because 'the file' is a specific direct object receiving the action of the verb. We add the accusative case suffix -ı (with the buffer letter -y- since dosya ends in a vowel) to show this. It makes the difference between uploading 'a file' and 'the file'.
Why does sunucu (server) take the -ya ending?
The verb yüklemek (to upload) requires a destination, which in Turkish is marked by the dative case (direction towards something). Adding -ya turns sunucu into sunucuya, meaning 'to the server'.
If I wanted to say 'we are about to upload the file', how would the sentence change?
Only the personal suffix at the very end changes! The infinitive verb stays exactly the same. You would just change üzereyim to üzereyiz, making the sentence: Dosyayı sunucuya yüklemek üzereyiz.
