Questions & Answers about Dünkü mülakata katılmış olan aday, iyi bir öz geçmiş getirdi.
Why do we use katılmış olan here instead of just katılan?
While katılan aday simply means "the candidate who attended," using katılmış olan explicitly frames the action in the past. The -mış olan construction (verb + past/perfective suffix + "being") emphasizes the completed state of having already attended the interview before the action of bringing the resume.
Why does mülakat (interview) take the dative ending -a here?
The verb katılmak (to attend, to join, to participate) always requires its object to be in the dative case. Even though we say "attend the interview" in English, in Turkish you literally join to the interview (mülakata katılmış).
What is the function of the -kü suffix on dünkü?
The suffix -ki turns a time word or a location into an adjective. It changes dün (yesterday) into dünkü (yesterday's), allowing it to directly modify mülakat. It becomes -kü here due to vowel harmony with the rounded ü in dün, which is a special exception for this suffix.
Why is the word order iyi bir öz geçmiş instead of bir iyi öz geçmiş?
What does öz geçmiş literally mean?
It translates literally to "self past" (öz meaning self, essence, or core, and geçmiş meaning past). It is the standard Turkish term for a resume or CV.
