Questions & Answers about Sınavdan sonra vitesi kontrol etsin.
Why does sınav (test) have the -dan ending before sonra?
In Turkish, the postposition sonra (after) requires the preceding noun to be in the ablative case (the "from" case) when you are saying "after [noun]". So sınav becomes sınavdan, and together sınavdan sonra literally acts like "after from the test".
What verb form is etsin, and why isn't it ediyor?
etsin is the third-person singular imperative (command) form. While the command form for "you" is just the verb root (et), Turkish adds the suffix -sin to make a command for "he/she/it". In English, we usually translate this as "let him check" or "he should check", whereas ediyor would just be a statement of fact ("he is checking").
Why is there an -i on the end of vitesi?
The -i is the accusative case suffix. It marks vites (gear) as the specific direct object receiving the action of the verb. This tells us he is checking the specific gear, rather than just doing a general gear-checking activity.
Are kontrol and etsin acting as two separate verbs?
No, they function together as a single compound verb: kontrol etmek (to check or to control). Turkish frequently creates verbs by combining a noun (like kontrol) with a helper verb like etmek (to do/make). You write them as separate words, but all the verb endings go on the helper verb.
