Learn Turkish: Projeyi kusursuz bir şekilde gerçekleştirebildik. - We were able to carry out the project flawlessly.

Kusur means 'flaw' and the suffix -suz means 'without', making kusursuz the adjective 'flawless'. By adding bir şekilde (literally 'in a shape' or 'in a way'), we turn it into an adverb. Using bir şekilde after an adjective is the standard way to express 'in a [blank] manner' in Turkish.

Can you break down the long verb gerçekleştirebildik?

Let's take it piece by piece! It starts with the root gerçek (real). The suffixes -leş and -tir turn it into the verb gerçekleştirmek (to make real, to realize, or to carry out). Next comes -ebil for ability ('were able to'), followed by the past tense marker -di, and finally the 'we' personal ending -k.

Why is it projeyi instead of just proje?

Because 'the project' is the specific direct object of the verb. We add the accusative case ending -i to show this. Since proje ends in a vowel, we must use the buffer consonant -y- to connect them smoothly, giving us projeyi.
