Questions & Answers about Barkod sisteme girilmedi, paket hâlâ depoda olacak.
Why use the future tense olacak if the package is in the warehouse right now?
This is the main focus of this lesson: using the future tense suffix -AcAk for present logical deductions. Because the barcode wasn't scanned, the speaker is making a strong assumption about the present state of the package. In this context, olacak translates closer to "must be" or "is expected to be" rather than a future action.
Could I say depoda olmalı instead of depoda olacak?
Absolutely. The suffix -mAlI is the standard way to say "must," so depoda olmalı is perfectly correct and means the same thing. Using olacak is just a very common, slightly more conversational way to express that same strong logical expectation.
How is the passive voice built in the word girilmedi?
The verb root is gir- (to enter). To this, we add the passive suffix -il to form giril- (to be entered). Next is the negative suffix -me (not), and finally the definite past tense suffix -di. Put together, girilmedi means "was not entered."
Why does sistem take the dative ending -e (sisteme) instead of the locative -de (sistemde)?
The verb girmek (to enter) directs action toward a destination, so it requires the dative case (-e/-a). Even though in English we might say something is entered "in" the system, Turkish treats it as entering data "into" the system. Therefore, it has to be sisteme girilmek.
