Questions & Answers about Hedeflediği puanı almak için bir robot gibi dinlenmeksizin problem çözüyor.
How does dinlenmeksizin work here, and is it different from dinlenmeden?
The word dinlenmeksizin uses the negative converb suffix -mEksizin attached to the verb root dinlen- (to rest). It means exactly the same thing as dinlenmeden (without resting). The main difference is that -mEksizin is much more formal, often used in written text, literature, or to add dramatic emphasis to the action.
Why is hedeflediği used to mean 'aimed for' instead of hedefleyen?
The word hedeflediği uses the object participle -dik combined with the third-person possessive suffix -i. We use -dik because the noun it describes (puan, the score) is the object of her aim. If we used the subject participle -An to say hedefleyen puan, it would incorrectly translate to 'the score that is aiming'.
Why does puan take the accusative suffix to become puanı?
It takes the accusative suffix -ı because it is the specific, defined object of the verb almak (to get). She isn't trying to get just any random score; she wants to get the exact, specific score that she aimed for.
Why is problem written in its bare singular form if she is solving multiple problems?
In Turkish, when you are talking about a general category of action rather than specific items, the object stays singular and takes no suffixes. Here, she is engaged in the general activity of 'problem-solving', so problem acts as a bare, indefinite object placed directly before the verb çözüyor.
