Questions & Answers about Kaportayı boyadıktan sonra eski döşemeyi değiştirmiş olacak.
How does değiştirmiş olacak translate to "will have changed"?
This is the Future Perfect tense! We combine the past suffix -miş (attached to the main verb değiştir-) with the future tense of the helper verb olmak (olacak). Together, -miş olacak means an action will be already completed by a certain point in the future.
Why is it boyadıktan sonra instead of just "boyadan sonra"?
To say "after doing [an action]" in Turkish, you must use the structure verb + -dIktAn sonra. Here, the verb stem boya- (paint) takes -dık plus the ablative case ending -tan to make boyadıktan sonra (after painting).
Both kaportayı and döşemeyi end with -yı / -yi. Why is this?
That is the definite accusative case. It marks a specific direct object receiving an action. He is painting a specific bodywork (kaporta-y-ı) and replacing a specific upholstery (döşeme-y-i). The -y- in both words is a buffer letter to keep two vowels from crashing together.
Is there a difference between değişmek and değiştirmek?
