Questions & Answers about Heyecanımızı azaltmak için hazırlıkları bitirelim.
How does the word heyecanımızı break down?
It comes from heyecan (excitement) + -ımız (our) + -ı (accusative case marker). It needs the accusative case because it is the specific direct object being reduced by the verb azaltmak.
I thought için meant 'for'. Why does it mean 'to' here?
When you pair a dictionary-form verb (ending in -mak or -mek) with için, it creates the meaning 'in order to' do that action. So azaltmak için means 'in order to reduce'.
Why does hazırlıkları end in -ı?
The root is hazırlık (preparation). We add the plural suffix -lar to get hazırlıklar, and then the accusative suffix -ı. The accusative is required here because 'the preparations' are the specific direct object of the verb bitirelim.
