Questions & Answers about Noter kendi imzanı tasdik edecek.
How would I use this lesson's grammar to say "When the notary certifies your own signature..."?
You would turn tasdik edecek into a future participle by adding the -(y)AcAk suffix, softening it, and adding a possessive suffix to match the subject (noter). Because the notary is a 3rd-person subject, you use edeceği. Then you add zaman (time). The full phrase would be: Noter kendi imzanı tasdik edeceği zaman...
Why does imzanı end with an -ı instead of just being imzan?
The verb tasdik etmek (to certify) is acting on a specific direct object, so the object needs the accusative case marker. İmza (signature) gets the 2nd person singular possessive -n (your), making it imzan (your signature). Then the accusative suffix -ı is added to show it receives the action of the verb, resulting in imzanı.
Could I drop kendi and just say Noter imzanı tasdik edecek?
Yes, grammatically that is perfectly fine! The possessive suffix -n in imzanı already tells us it is "your" signature. Adding kendi is optional but used here for emphasis, translating specifically to "your own signature."
Why is the verb edecek spelled with a d instead of a t?
The root helper verb here is etmek (to do/make), which pairs with tasdik to form the compound verb tasdik etmek (to certify). When the future tense suffix -ecek (which starts with a vowel) attaches to et-, the hard t softens to a d due to consonant mutation.
