Questions & Answers about Üçüncü karanfilli buket yirmi dakikada yapılacak.
How does the suffix in karanfilli change the meaning of the word?
The base word is karanfil (carnation). The suffix -li (which changes to -lı, -lu, or -lü depending on vowel harmony) means "with" or "containing". By attaching it, karanfilli becomes an adjective that means "with carnations" or "containing carnations" to describe the bouquet.
Why is the verb yapılacak instead of yapacak?
Yapacak means "[he/she/it] will make" in the active voice. Because the bouquet isn't making anything itself, but rather will be made by someone else, we need the passive voice. The suffix -ıl- is added to the verb root yap- (make) to form yapıl- (be made), followed by the future tense suffix -acak.
Why do we use the locative suffix -da in dakikada to mean "in twenty minutes"?
In English, we say an action will be completed "in" a certain amount of time. In Turkish, when expressing the duration of time it takes to finish something, we use the locative case suffix (-da or -de). So yirmi dakikada translates perfectly to "in twenty minutes".
