Questions & Answers about Patronun açıkladığı gibi projeyi gerçekleştirdik.
How does açıkladığı gibi mean "as explained"?
This uses the grammar structure you are learning now: verb + -dığı + possessive + gibi, which means "as" or "the way that." Here, açıkla (explain) gets the -dığı ending to match the third-person subject, followed by gibi.
Why does patron (boss) have the genitive ending -un?
In these -dığı gibi clauses, the subject of the clause (the person doing the explaining) must take the genitive case. It pairs with the possessive suffix on the verb açıkladığı, almost like saying "like the boss's explaining."
Why is it projeyi and not just proje?
Since "the project" is a specific thing being carried out, it needs the definite accusative case. The base word is proje, and -yi is added to mark it as the direct object of the verb gerçekleştirdik.
Gerçekleştirdik is quite a mouthful. What are the parts of this verb?
The root is gerçek (real or true). The suffix -leş means "to become" (to become real), and -tir makes it causative, meaning "to make real" or "to carry out." Then -di is the past tense marker, and -k is the "we" ending.
