Questions & Answers about Yoksa ütü başka bir tesiste yaptırılırdı.
How does the ending of yaptırılırdı create the meaning 'would be'?
It combines the aorist tense suffix -ır with the past tense suffix -dı. Together, they form the aorist past (-ırdı), which translates to 'would' when describing the result of a conditional situation.
Where is the 'if' part of this conditional sentence?
The word yoksa (otherwise) acts as the entire condition here. It implies a hidden 'if we did not do it this way,' which triggers the 'would' form in the main verb.
What are the -tır and -ıl suffixes doing in the middle of yaptırılırdı?
Why does ütü mean 'ironing' here instead of 'iron'?
The word ütü can mean either the physical tool (an iron) or the chore (ironing). Since the sentence is about a service being performed at a facility, context tells us it means the chore of ironing.
