Learn Turkish: Eşyalar azaldığı sürece evi temizlemek kolaylaşıyor. - As long as belongings decrease, cleaning the house gets easier.

The suffix -laş (or -leş) attaches to nouns and adjectives to create a verb meaning to become that noun or adjective. Here, it turns the adjective kolay (easy) into the verb kolaylaşmak (to become easy). Combined with the present continuous tense -ıyor, it translates to gets easier or is getting easier.

Is the verb base azal- (in azaldığı) related to the state-change suffix we are currently learning?

Conceptually, yes! The verb azalmak comes from the adjective az (little). Instead of -laş, it uses an older, less common state-change suffix -al to mean to become less or to decrease. You will also see this irregular suffix in verbs like çoğalmak (from çok).

What makes up the structure of azaldığı sürece to mean as long as?

This is a highly useful B1/B2 pattern. It combines the personal participle suffix -dık (which becomes -dığı here) on the verb with the word sürece. The word sürece itself comes from süre (duration) plus the adverbial suffix -ce. Together, -dığı sürece literally means for the duration that it happens.
