Questions & Answers about Konferansa katılacak konuşmacı kim?
How does the future participle work in katılacak konuşmacı?
The suffix -AcAk is added directly to the verb stem katıl- (to attend) to make it an adjective describing the noun that follows it. It translates to 'who will attend'. Since the speaker is the one doing the action, this is a subject relative participle.
Why does konferans have the dative ending -a in this sentence?
The verb katılmak (to attend or to join) always requires the dative case for the destination or event being joined. Even though katıl- is acting as a participle here (katılacak), it still governs the noun before it just like a regular verb would, making it konferansa.
How do we get the word konuşmacı from konuşmak?
We first add the suffix -ma to turn the verb into the noun konuşma (speech or speaking). Then, we add the agent suffix -cı (used for professions or habitual doers) to make konuşmacı (speaker).
Why is the question word kim at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
In Turkish, question words do not automatically move to the front. They usually sit exactly where the answer would go. Since a statement would end with the person's name, like ...konuşmacı Ayşe (the speaker is Ayşe), the question word kim takes that exact spot at the end.
