Questions & Answers about Mühendis, verimliliği artırmak için çıldırırcasına kodluyordu.
How is çıldırırcasına formed and what exactly does the -casına suffix do here?
It attaches to the aorist (broad time) form of the verb. Here, çıldırmak (to go crazy) becomes çıldırır (goes crazy), and we add -casına to mean as if going crazy or like crazy. It describes an action done in an extreme or intense manner.
Why do we use artırmak instead of artmak here?
Artmak is intransitive and means to increase on its own (like when prices increase). Artırmak is the causative form, meaning to make something increase or to raise. Since the engineer is increasing something (productivity), we need the transitive artırmak and the accusative case on verimliliği.
What is the root of verimliliği and what suffixes are attached to it?
It comes from verim (yield or output). Adding -li makes verimli (productive), and -lik makes the noun verimlilik (productivity). Finally, because it is the specific direct object of artırmak, we add the accusative suffix -i, which softens the final k into ğ.
Why is it kodluyordu instead of kodlayordu?
The verb root is kodlamak (to code). When the continuous suffix -yor is added to a verb ending in a or e, that final vowel narrows. Here, the a narrows to u to harmonize with the o in -yor, making it kodluyordu.
