Questions & Answers about Dilekçeyi vereceğin zaman harcı vezneye ödeyeceksin.
How exactly does vereceğin zaman translate to "when you are going to submit"?
This structure translates literally to "at the time of your future-submitting". We take the verb stem ver- (give/submit), add the future participle -ecek (which softens to -eceğ-), and then add the possessive ending -in (your). When followed by zaman (time), it creates a "when" clause for a future event.
Why does the word for "fee" (harç) become harcı in this sentence?
Two things happen here. First, we need the accusative case suffix -ı because you are paying a specific, known fee. Second, adding a vowel suffix to the root harç causes the final ç to soften into a c, resulting in harcı.
Why do we use vezneye (to the cashier) instead of making "cashier" the direct object?
In English, you "pay the cashier", but in Turkish, you pay the fee to the cashier. The fee (harcı) is the direct object, and the cashier (vezne) is the destination receiving the money, so it takes the dative suffix -(y)e.
Is vermek the standard verb used for "submit"?
It is very common in these contexts. While vermek essentially means "to give", in bureaucratic situations like handing in a petition (dilekçe), a form, or an application, it translates perfectly to "submit" or "hand in".
