Questions & Answers about Kavşaktan sonra park etmek için o pedala basmak lazım.
Why is it kavşaktan sonra and not just kavşak sonra?
When using sonra (after) or önce (before) with a noun to say 'after/before [noun]', the noun must take the ablative case, which means adding -dan, -den, -tan, or -ten. Because kavşak (intersection) ends in a hard consonant (k), it takes the -tan ending.
Why does pedal take the -a ending in o pedala basmak?
The verb basmak (to press / to step on) requires the dative case (-a or -e) for the object being pressed. In Turkish, you don't just press the pedal; you press 'to' the pedal.
How does park etmek için translate to 'to park'?
When you put an infinitive verb (a verb ending in -mak or -mek, like park etmek) right before için (for), it expresses purpose. It literally means 'for parking', which we translate as 'in order to park' or simply 'to park'.
How does the necessity structure work in basmak lazım?
Lazım means 'necessary'. To say 'it is necessary to do [something]' in a general sense without specifying who has to do it, you simply use the infinitive form of the verb followed by lazım.
