Questions & Answers about Hemen sipariş vermektense güvenilir siteleri karşılaştırmak daha iyi.
How exactly does vermektense mean "rather than ordering"?
This is the core structure of this lesson! It combines the infinitive vermek (to give/place) + the ablative case -ten (from) + the conditional suffix -se (if). When you attach -mAktAnsa to a verb, it translates directly to "rather than [doing something]" or "instead of [doing something]".
Why is "ordering" translated as two words: sipariş vermek?
Sipariş is a noun meaning "an order" (like for goods or food). Turkish frequently pairs nouns with the helper verb vermek (to give) to create an action. So, "to place an order" is literally "to give an order" (sipariş vermek).
Why use the infinitive karşılaştırmak (to compare) here instead of a conjugated verb?
In this sentence, the action of comparing is the actual subject. Just like in English where we can say "comparing is better" or "it is better to compare", Turkish uses the standard dictionary form (-mAk) to turn a verb into a noun concept so it can act as the subject of the sentence.
Why does siteleri take the accusative -i ending if we are talking about "reliable sites" in general?
The verb karşılaştırmak (to compare) takes a direct object. When a plural noun is modified by an adjective (like güvenilir) and serves as a direct object, Turkish usually adds the definite accusative -i because you are referring to a specific category of things: the reliable sites.
How is the word güvenilir (reliable) formed?
It comes from the verb güvenmek (to trust). The -il part makes it passive ("to be trusted"), and the -ir part is the aorist tense suffix. In Turkish, adding the aorist suffix to a verb is a very common way to create an adjective describing what something generally does or can be. So, güvenilir literally means "that which can be trusted".
