Questions & Answers about Bu kursa kaydolmak için bir enstrüman seçebilirsin.
Why is kaydolmak spelled as a single word, and what happened to the word kayıt?
Kaydolmak is formed by combining kayıt (registration) and the helper verb olmak. When combined, the second vowel in kayıt drops out, and the t softens to a d. Because a sound change occurs, Turkish spelling rules require the two words to be written together as one.
Why do we use the dative case in bu kursa?
The verb kaydolmak (to enroll/register) requires the dative case because you are registering to a place or program. Therefore, kurs (course) takes the dative suffix -a to become kursa.
What is the function of için here?
When için (for) directly follows a verb in its full dictionary form (-mak or -mek), it expresses purpose. So kaydolmak için translates to "in order to enroll" or simply "to enroll".
Can you break down the suffixes in the verb seçebilirsin?
It starts with the verb root seç (to choose). Then we add the ability suffix -ebil (can), the aorist tense suffix -ir (used here for an open possibility or general statement), and the second-person singular ending -sin (you).
