Questions & Answers about Vatandaşlık başvurusu yapacakları zaman yeminli tercüman lazım.
How does yapacakları zaman mean "when they apply"?
To say "when someone will do something", we use the future suffix -acak or -ecek, add a possessive suffix to show who is doing it, and follow it with zaman (time). Here, yap (do/make) + -acak + -ları (their) gives us yapacakları. So, yapacakları zaman literally means "at their future time of doing".
Could I just say yapacağı zaman instead of yapacakları zaman?
That would mean "when he, she, or it applies". Because the English translation says "when they apply", we need the third-person plural possessive suffix -ları to indicate that the subject is "they".
Why is there a -su at the end of başvurusu?
It links the two nouns vatandaşlık (citizenship) and başvuru (application) to form a noun compound. Because the second word, başvuru, ends in a vowel, it takes the buffer letter s before the possessive suffix -u.
How does the word yeminli get its meaning?
It comes from the noun yemin, which means "oath". Adding the suffix -li (meaning "with" or "having") turns it into an adjective. Therefore, a yeminli tercüman is a "translator with an oath", or a sworn translator.
