Questions & Answers about Aday, gerek şeffaf yönetimi gerekse istikrarı desteklemeli.
What is the difference between gerek and gerekse in this sentence?
They form the paired conjunction gerek ... gerek(se) ..., which means "both ... and ..." in a formal or written context. The -se suffix on the second part is optional but very common; it just helps balance the phrase. You could also just say gerek şeffaf yönetimi gerek istikrarı.
Why do yönetim and istikrar both have accusative endings (yönetimi and istikrarı)?
They are the direct objects of the verb desteklemeli (must support). Because these are specific concepts the candidate must support, they take the definite accusative case. The conjunction gerek ... gerekse ... joins them, so the verb's requirement applies to both nouns equally.
Does the adjective şeffaf apply to both administration and stability here?
No, şeffaf (transparent) only modifies yönetimi (administration). The structure gerek X gerekse Y cleanly separates the two items into distinct blocks, making it clear that the transparency only describes the administration, not the stability.
