Questions & Answers about Projeyi hangimizin yönetmesi daha mantıklı?
Why is it yönetmesi (3rd person singular) instead of yönetmemiz (1st person plural) when the subject is hangimizin (which of us)?
Even though hangimizin includes -miz (of us), the core subject is hangi (which one). Because 'which one of us' acts as a singular 3rd person subject (just like 'he' or 'she'), the verbal noun yönetme takes the 3rd person singular possessive ending -si to match it.
What exactly is the subject of daha mantıklı (more logical) in this sentence?
The entire phrase Projeyi hangimizin yönetmesi acts as the subject. The short verbal noun -me combined with a possessive ending creates a noun phrase that functions as a full clause. It translates literally as 'the managing-of-the-project of which-of-us'.
How is the word hangimizin built, and why does it need the genitive case?
It is made of hangi (which) + -miz (of us) + -in (genitive case). The genitive case is required because action clauses use a possessor-possessed structure. It links the doer (hangimizin) to the verbal noun (yönetmesi) in the exact same way you would link 'my' to 'car'.
Why does proje take the accusative case (Projeyi) if it comes before a noun-like word rather than a regular verb?
