Questions & Answers about Eti kızartmaktan vazgeçmeni öneriyorum. Şöyle ki, çok zararlı.
How does şöyle ki function in this sentence compared to yani?
Şöyle ki is used to introduce an explanation, clarification, or a reason for the previous statement. It translates well to 'Here is why,' 'Let me explain,' or 'Namely.' While yani (in other words) is often used to rephrase or summarize, şöyle ki specifically signals that you are about to elaborate or provide the reasoning behind your suggestion.
Why is there a -tan ending on kızartmaktan?
The verb vazgeçmek (to give up / to change one's mind) always requires the ablative case (-dan / -den). To say 'give up frying,' you must literally say 'give up from frying' (kızartmaktan vazgeçmek).
Can you break down the suffixes on vazgeçmeni?
It consists of the verb root vazgeç, the verbal noun suffix -me (giving up), the possessive suffix -n (your giving up), and finally the accusative case -i. The accusative is required because the entire phrase 'your giving up' is the direct object of öneriyorum (I suggest).
Could I use kızarmaktan instead of kızartmaktan here?
No. Kızartmak is a transitive verb meaning 'to fry something' or 'to make something brown/red.' Kızarmak is intransitive and means 'to become fried' or 'to turn red/blush.' Since you are actively frying the meat (eti), you must use the transitive form kızartmak.
