Questions & Answers about İşveren o klasörü incelemek zorunda.
The current lesson is about using "-(y)sa gerek" to say "must". Could we use that structure here instead of "zorunda"?
No, because they express completely different meanings. The structure -(y)sa gerek is used for logical deduction (e.g., guessing "The employer must be examining the folder, because his door is closed"). This sentence expresses a strict obligation or rule ("The employer has to examine that folder"). To show obligation, we use the full infinitive verb (incelemek) followed by zorunda.
Why does "klasör" take the "-ü" suffix to become "klasörü" instead of "klasoru"?
Because of the word o (that), the folder is a specific direct object, so it needs the accusative case. Usually, a word with an "ö" in the last syllable would take an "-u" or "-ü" depending on the final consonant, but klasör is a French loanword. Many loanwords ending in consonants like "r" or "l" break the standard back/front vowel harmony rules and take front vowel suffixes. Therefore, it becomes klasörü.
How is the noun "işveren" constructed?
It is formed by combining iş (work/job) and veren (the one who gives). Veren is the present participle of vermek (to give), created with the -(y)An suffix. Put together, it literally translates to "the one who gives work," which is the Turkish word for "employer."
Why is the verb "incelemek" left in its full dictionary form (infinitive)?
The word zorunda (meaning "obliged to" or "has to") acts as an adjective/noun phrase that always requires the preceding verb to stay in its full infinitive -mAk form. You don't conjugate the action verb itself. If you needed to change the person or tense (like "I had to"), you would attach those personal endings or past tense suffixes directly to zorunda (e.g., zorundaydım).
