Questions & Answers about Değişikliği netleştirdikten sonra yeni bir plan yapabildik.
How does netleştirdikten sonra mean "after clarifying", and how does it compare to our current lesson's -diği gibi structure?
It uses the pattern verb + -DIktAn sonra ("after doing [verb]"). It uses the same -dik participle you're learning about now, but instead of adding a possessive suffix like in -diği gibi ("as he/she did"), it adds the ablative case -ten ("from") followed by sonra ("after"). With this "after" pattern, you don't need to specify who is doing the action on the verb itself; we know it's "we" because of the main verb at the end of the sentence.
I recognize the word net (clear) at the start of netleştirdikten. How do the other suffixes build that verb?
They build the verb step-by-step! net is an adjective meaning "clear". Adding -leş creates the verb netleşmek (to become clear). Then, adding the causative suffix -tir means "to cause to become clear". Therefore, netleştirmek means "to clarify".
Why is it değişikliği instead of değişiklik?
It takes the accusative case suffix -i because "the change" is the specific direct object of the verb "clarify" (we clarified the change). When you add the vowel -i to değişiklik, consonant mutation kicks in, and the final hard k softens into a ğ.
Can you break down the suffixes in yapabildik?
Certainly! It consists of the verb root yap- (make/do), the ability suffix -abil (can/be able to), the past tense suffix -di, and the "we" personal ending -k. Put together, yap-abil-di-k means "we were able to make".
