Questions & Answers about Açılışı yapacak başkanla görüşmek lazım.
How do we know yapacak means "who will do" and isn't just the regular future tense verb?
Because it is placed directly before the noun başkan (president). When the future suffix -acak or -ecek is attached to a verb right before a noun, it turns the verb into an adjective (a participle). Here, yapacak başkan translates to "the president who will do [it]".
Why does açılış (opening) take the accusative ending -ı to become açılışı?
Even though yapacak acts like an adjective describing the president, it still behaves like a verb to the words that come before it. The verb yapmak (to do/make) takes a direct object. Because this refers to a specific opening, açılış requires the specific direct object (accusative) suffix -ı.
What is the -la doing at the end of başkanla?
It is the instrumental suffix, meaning "with". The verb görüşmek (to meet / to converse) requires you to state who you are meeting with. Therefore, başkan (president) becomes başkanla (with the president).
Why use görüşmek lazım instead of a personal form like görüşmeliyim?
Using the infinitive dictionary form of the verb (görüşmek) followed by lazım expresses a general, impersonal necessity: "It is necessary to meet." It leaves out exactly who has to do the meeting. If you wanted to specify "I must meet," you would use görüşmem lazım or görüşmeliyim.
