Questions & Answers about Bu kristallerden seçip altın zincire takacağım.
Why is the ablative ending -den used on kristallerden instead of just saying kristalleri?
In Turkish, the ablative case suffix -den or -dan can be used to mean 'some of' a larger group. If you used the accusative case and said kristalleri seçip, it would mean you are choosing all of the specific crystals. Using the partitive kristallerden means you will pick only some of them.
What does the -ip suffix do in the word seçip?
The -ip suffix is a converb that connects two sequential actions done by the same subject, working just like the word 'and'. Instead of repeating the tense and saying seçeceğim ve takacağım (I will choose and I will attach), you attach -ip to the first verb root (seç-) to smoothly link it to the final verb (takacağım).
Why is zincir (chain) written with an -e at the end (zincire)?
The verb takmak (to attach, to put on) requires the dative case (-e or -a) to show where something is being attached to. Since you are attaching the crystals to the gold chain, zincir takes the dative suffix, becoming zincire.
