Questions & Answers about Dosyaları sana aynen ve hasarsız geri getirmek üzere verdim.
I learned before that -mAk üzere means "about to". How does it mean "on the condition of" here?
You're right! You probably learned it in sentences like çıkmak üzereyim (I am about to leave). However, when it connects an action to an agreement—especially with verbs like giving, borrowing, or signing—-mAk üzere acts as a proviso clause. It means "on the condition that" or "with the understanding that" the first action will happen. Here, getirmek üzere verdim means "I gave them, on the condition you bring them back."
What kind of word is aynen? It doesn't look like it has a typical Turkish adverb ending.
Aynen is an adverb borrowed from Arabic meaning "exactly as it is" or "without changing anything". You will actually hear native speakers use it all the time by itself in conversation to say "Exactly!" or "I completely agree!"
How is the word hasarsız formed?
It is made from the noun hasar (damage) plus the suffix -sız (without). So hasarsız literally means "without damage" or "undamaged".
Why do we need geri? Doesn't getirmek already mean "to bring"?
Getirmek does mean "to bring", but it doesn't imply returning something to its original place. To specifically say "bring back" or "return", you need to pair it with geri (back), making geri getirmek.
