Questions & Answers about Bu senin için ideal bir seçenek. Kaldı ki, bölümde burslu okuyacaksın.
What exactly does kaldı ki mean, and how does it function in this sentence?
Kaldı ki means "besides," "moreover," or "what's more." It is used to introduce an additional, often stronger, argument to support a point you just made. Literally, it translates to "it remains that..." Here, it reinforces why the option is ideal by adding the bonus fact about the scholarship.
Does kaldı ki always have to start a new sentence?
Generally, yes. It acts as a sentence connector linking a new independent clause to the previous one, much like "Besides," or "Furthermore," in English. You will almost always see it at the beginning of the second sentence or clause, usually followed by a comma.
Why is burslu used here instead of bursla (with a scholarship)?
Both are actually understood, but burslu is the standard way to express this in Turkish. Burslu uses the -li/-lu suffix to mean "having a scholarship" or "scholarshipped." In Turkish, burslu okumak is a fixed everyday phrase for "to study on a scholarship."
Why does the sentence use okuyacaksın for "you will study" instead of çalışacaksın?
In Turkish, çalışmak means "to study" in the sense of actively reviewing material or doing homework (e.g., studying for an exam). However, okumak (literally "to read") is the verb you must use to mean "to be enrolled as a student" at a university, in a department, or in a specific major.
