Questions & Answers about Tesis kapalı olsaydı, örnekler makineciden başka birine ürettirilirdi.
Ürettirilirdi is a very long word! How do all those suffixes break down?
Let's take it step-by-step from the root üret- (to produce). First, we add the causative suffix -tir to get ürettir- (to have someone produce). Next is the passive suffix -il, making it ürettiril- (to be ordered/made to produce). Finally, we add the current lesson's grammar: the aorist -ir and the past tense -di, creating ürettirilirdi (would be ordered to be produced).
Why does birine (someone) take the dative suffix -e here?
When you use a causative verb in Turkish (like making or having someone do something), the person performing the action takes the dative case (-e or -a). Even though the verb is in the passive voice here, the logic stays the same: the production task would be given to someone else (başka birine).
Why does makineci (machinist) have the ablative -den ending?
It is required by the word başka. When başka is used as a postposition meaning 'other than' or 'besides', the noun before it must take the ablative case (-den or -dan). Therefore, makineciden başka translates to 'other than the machinist'.
What is the difference between olsa and olsaydı in this context?
Both are conditional forms of the verb olmak (to be). While olsa is a simple condition ('if it is'), adding the past tense suffix to make olsaydı creates an unreal or hypothetical condition ('if it were'). Because the facility isn't actually closed, we use olsaydı to discuss an imaginary scenario, which pairs perfectly with the aorist past ürettirilirdi (would be produced).
