Questions & Answers about İnsan kaynakları departmanı bugünden itibaren yeni politikayı uygulamıyor.
How does bugünden itibaren mean 'starting from today'?
The word itibaren means 'starting from' or 'as of'. It always requires the preceding word to take the ablative case (-dan / -den / -tan / -ten), which normally means 'from'. So, bugün (today) becomes bugünden (from today), and together with itibaren it means 'starting from today' or 'as of today'.
Why does the verb uygulamıyor have an 'mı' instead of the usual negative 'ma' or 'me'?
The base verb is uygulamak (to apply). To make it negative, we add -ma, making the stem uygulama-. However, in Turkish, when a word ending in a wide vowel (a or e) is followed by the present continuous -yor suffix, that vowel narrows to ı, i, u, or ü. Therefore, uygulamayor naturally reduces to uygulamıyor.
Why is there an '-ı' at the end of departmanı?
This is because İnsan kaynakları departmanı is a noun compound. In Turkish, when you link nouns together to make a specific concept like 'human resources department', the final noun needs a possessive suffix to connect them. Here, departman takes the third-person possessive -ı to link it to İnsan kaynakları.
