Questions & Answers about Mecliste beklemekte olan tasarının oylaması çok önemli.
Why do we use beklemekte olan instead of just bekleyen for 'which is waiting'?
The structure -mAktA olan uses the formal continuous suffix -mAktA combined with olan (the relative participle of olmak, meaning 'being'). While bekleyen also translates to 'waiting' or 'which waits', beklemekte olan strongly emphasizes that the action is currently ongoing at this very moment. It also carries a more formal, official tone, which perfectly fits the context of a parliamentary procedure.
Why does tasarı take the -nın suffix here?
It forms a definite noun compound with oylaması. Because the sentence is about the voting of a specific bill, tasarı (bill) takes the genitive suffix -nın to mean 'of the bill', and oylama (voting) takes the possessive suffix -sı. If the sentence used tasarı oylaması without the genitive suffix, it would mean 'bill-voting' in general, rather than the voting of this particular bill.
How does the word oylaması break down? Is the -ma a negative suffix?
It is not a negative suffix here. The root is the verb oylamak (to vote), which comes from the noun oy (vote). The -ma suffix turns the verb into a verbal noun, meaning 'the act of voting'. Finally, the -sı is the third-person possessive suffix that connects 'the voting' back to the bill to form tasarının oylaması (the bill's voting).
Does tasarı mean any kind of bill, like at a restaurant?
No, tasarı specifically refers to a draft, plan, or legislative bill. It comes from the verb tasarlamak (to design or plan). If you are paying for a meal at a restaurant, you ask for the hesap, and a bill for utilities or services is called a fatura.
