Questions & Answers about Bütün kadro dublajı birlikte yapabilirdi.
How do the suffixes in "yapabilirdi" create the meaning "could have done"?
It combines the verb root yap (to do) with the ability suffix -abil, the aorist (broad time) suffix -ir, and the past tense suffix -di. Literally, this combination acts like "would be able to do," which Turkish uses to express a counterfactual past ability: something they had the ability to do in the past, but didn't.
How would I make "yapabilirdi" negative to say they "couldn't have done" it?
You would change it to yapamazdı. To form the negative counterfactual past (could not have), you replace the ability suffix with the inability marker -ama, add the negative aorist -z, and finish with the past tense -dı.
Why does "dublaj" have the accusative suffix "-ı" here?
The accusative case is used to mark a specific direct object. Because the sentence refers to "the dubbing" of a specific, known project rather than just doing the activity of dubbing in general, dublaj takes the suffix -ı to become dublajı.
Does "kadro" strictly mean "cast" in Turkish?
Not exclusively. Kadro is a very versatile word that generally means "staff," "personnel," "roster," or "squad" (like a football team). In the context of a film or voice-acting project like dublaj, it naturally translates as "the cast."
