Questions & Answers about Vatandaşlık alacağı zaman bu evrakları hazırlayacak.
How is the phrase "when he is going to get" formed in alacağı zaman?
It uses the future participle -acak combined with a possessive suffix. The root is al- (to get/take). We add -acak for the future meaning, and then the 3rd person singular possessive -ı (his), making it literally "at the time of his future getting".
Why does the future suffix -acak change to -acağ- in alacağı?
This is a standard consonant mutation. When the possessive suffix -ı (a vowel) is added to -acak, the final k softens to a ğ. You will see this happen almost every time you use this future "when" structure with subjects other than "they".
Why does evrakları have the -ı suffix at the end?
The suffix -ı is the specific accusative case marker. Because the sentence says he will prepare bu evrakları (these specific documents), they are the specific direct object of the verb hazırlayacak, which requires the accusative ending.
Since evrak originally means plural "documents", why do we add the plural suffix -lar to it?
Although evrak is an Arabic loanword that was originally plural, modern Turkish treats it as a singular noun meaning "document" or "paperwork". Therefore, to say "documents", you simply add the regular Turkish plural suffix -lar.
Are the subjects for getting citizenship and preparing the documents the same person here?
Yes. The 3rd person possessive in alacağı (his getting) and the 3rd person singular ending in hazırlayacak (he will prepare) refer to the same "he" (or "she"). If the person getting citizenship were different, you would see a different possessive ending, like alacağın zaman (when you are going to get).
