Questions & Answers about Yönetici, sistemi başlatmak üzere.
How does başlatmak üzere translate to about to start?
The word üzere placed right after a verb in its infinitive form (-mak or -mek) creates the meaning of about to or on the verge of doing that action. Here, başlatmak is to start, so the combination means about to start.
Why is the verb başlatmak instead of the simpler başlamak?
The verb başlamak means to start when the subject itself is starting (for example, the meeting starts). When you want to start something else as a direct object, you add the causative suffix -t to make it başlatmak. Since the manager is starting the system, we must use başlatmak.
Why does sistem have an -i at the end?
The -i is the accusative case ending, which marks the specific direct object of a verb. Because the manager is about to start a specific, known system (translated as the system), sistem takes this ending to become sistemi.
There is no verb like is at the end of the sentence. How does this work?
