Questions & Answers about Bir ayrıcalık olarak misafirler için bir süit tahsis edeceğiz.
Since the lesson is about double causatives, how would we change tahsis edeceğiz to mean 'we will have someone make another person allocate'?
First, you add the causative suffix -tir to the helper verb etmek, making it tahsis ettireceğiz (we will have someone allocate). To apply the double causative taught in this lesson, you add a second causative suffix, -t, resulting in tahsis ettirteceğiz (we will have someone make another person allocate).
Why do we use olarak after bir ayrıcalık here?
The word olarak is formed from the verb olmak (to be) and the adverbial suffix -arak. It functions exactly like 'as' in English. So bir ayrıcalık olarak literally means 'being a privilege,' which we naturally translate as 'as a privilege.'
Why is the loanword for 'suite' spelled süit instead of just copying the English spelling?
Because Turkish spelling is highly phonetic and requires every written vowel to be pronounced distinctly. Spelling it süit forces the reader to pronounce both the ü and the i, mimicking the original English pronunciation while preventing any visual confusion with süt, which means milk.
Why isn't there an accusative marker on bir süit since it is the direct object of tahsis edeceğiz?
Because it is an indefinite object. The word bir (a/an) shows we are talking about a suite in general, not a specific, previously mentioned one. In Turkish, indefinite direct objects stay in their dictionary form and do not take the accusative suffix.
