Questions & Answers about Yeni politikaya göre, çalışanlar vardiyaya uzaktan katılabilir mi?
Why does politika have the dative ending in politikaya göre?
The postposition göre (according to) always requires the word before it to be in the dative case (-e/-a). Since politika ends in a vowel, it takes the buffer letter -y- before the dative -a, making it politikaya.
I know çalışmak means 'to work'. How does çalışanlar become 'employees'?
This uses the subject participle -an. Adding it to a verb creates a noun or adjective describing the person doing the action. Çalışan means 'one who works.' Adding the plural -lar makes it 'the ones who work,' which is the everyday Turkish word for 'employees'.
Why is the dative case used in vardiyaya instead of the accusative vardiyayı?
In Turkish, the verb katılmak (to join, to participate) always requires the dative case. You don't just join a thing; you join to a thing. Therefore, vardiya (shift) takes the dative ending and becomes vardiyaya.
How does the ablative case ending work in the word uzaktan ('remotely')?
The root uzak means 'far.' By attaching the ablative case ending -tan ('from'), it literally translates to 'from far.' This is the natural way to say you are doing something 'remotely' in Turkish, using the ablative case to show the origin of the action.
Since the subject çalışanlar is plural, shouldn't the verb be plural too (katılabilirler mi)?
It can be, but it's optional! In Turkish, if a plural subject (especially humans) is explicitly stated in the sentence, it is very common and completely correct to leave the verb in the singular form (katılabilir mi).
