Questions & Answers about Yeni yazılımı cihaza yüklemek üzereler.
How does the "about to" construction work here with üzereler?
The word üzere means "about to" when it follows an infinitive verb like yüklemek. To say who is about to do the action, we attach personal suffixes directly to üzere. Here, the third-person plural suffix -ler is added for "they", making üzereler (they are about to).
Why does yazılım have the -ı suffix to become yazılımı?
It takes the accusative case suffix -ı because it is the specific direct object of the verb yüklemek (to install). They are not installing just any software, they are installing the new software (yeni yazılımı).
Why do we use the dative case in cihaza?
The verb yüklemek (to install, to load) requires the dative case (-a or -e) to indicate the destination. It shows where the software is being installed to. Therefore, cihaz (device) becomes cihaza (to the device).
Could we include the word onlar (they) at the beginning of this sentence?
