Question 1

Why does the Turkish sentence use tükeniyor when the English translation says "selling out"?

Accepted Answer

The verb tükenmek literally means "to run out," "to be depleted," or "to be exhausted." While English focuses on the action of selling, Turkish focuses on the end result: the supply of products is running out.

Question 2

Why does the word for account (hesap) change to hesaba here?

Accepted Answer

This is a combination of the dative case and consonant mutation. We need the dative ending -a to show direction ("into" the account). When you add a vowel ending to a word ending in -p, it softens to a -b. Therefore, hesap + -a becomes hesaba.

Question 3

Is giriş yapmak the standard way to talk about logging into websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Turkish often pairs nouns with the helper verb yapmak (to do/make) for computer and internet terms. Giriş means "entry," so giriş yapmak is literally "to make an entry." If you want to log out, you would use çıkış yapmak (to make an exit).

Question 4

What gives yapalım the meaning of "let's"?

Accepted Answer

The ending -alım (or -elim) is the first-person plural "optative" suffix. In Turkish, this is the standard grammatical way to say "let's [do something]." Attached to the verb stem yap-, it becomes yapalım ("let's do/make").
