Questions & Answers about İşçi kendi sözleşmesini ihlal ettiği takdirde yasal haklarını kaybeder.
Why use ihlal ettiği takdirde instead of the standard conditional ihlal ederse?
The structure -dIğI takdirde translates to 'in the event that' or 'in case'. It is a highly formal way to express a condition and is standard in legal, business, or official language. While ihlal ederse ('if he breaches') conveys the same basic meaning, takdirde perfectly matches the formal, contractual tone of this sentence.
Since sözleşmesini already means 'his contract', why is kendi used here?
Adding kendi ('own') before a word with a possessive suffix is a common way to add emphasis. Here, kendi sözleşmesini emphasizes that the worker is breaching his very own contract. In legal and business contexts, this emphasizes the subject's direct responsibility.
What is the exact function of the -ni and -nı at the ends of sözleşmesini and haklarını?
They mark the specific direct object (the accusative case). Let's break down sözleşmesini: sözleşme (contract) + -si (his) + -n- (buffer letter) + -i (accusative). The same happens with haklarını: hak-lar (rights) + -ı (his) + -n- (buffer) + -ı (accusative). As a reminder, you must always use the -n- buffer when attaching any case ending to a third-person possessive suffix.
