Questions & Answers about Farları zımparaladığımı unutmuş olacaksın.
How does unutmuş olacaksın translate to "you will have forgotten"?
This is the Future Perfect tense. It combines the past participle suffix -mış on the main verb (unutmuş, meaning "forgotten") with the future tense of the helper verb olmak (olacaksın, meaning "you will be"). Together, they literally mean "you will be in a state of having forgotten," which we say in English as "you will have forgotten."
How do we get "that I sanded" from zımparaladığımı?
The root is zımparalamak (to sand). To say "that I sanded", we use the object participle suffix -dık (which mutates to -dığ here) and add the first-person possessive suffix -ım. So, zımparaladığım literally means "my sanding" or "the fact that I sanded".
Why are there two words ending in the accusative -ı (farları and zımparaladığımı)?
They are objects of different verbs! Farları (the headlights) is the direct object of the sanding action. Then, the entire phrase "that I sanded the headlights" (farları zımparaladığımı) acts as the direct object of the main verb, unutmak (to forget). That is why zımparaladığım gets its own accusative -ı at the end.
Could unutmuş olacaksın also mean "you must have forgotten"?
