Questions & Answers about Ayrıntıları konuşup neler yapmak lazımdı?

Why use neler instead of just ne?
Neler is the plural form of ne (what). Using it here implies the speaker expects a list of multiple actions that needed to be done. In English, this often translates to "what all" or "what things".
What is the function of the -up suffix in konuşup?
The -ıp / -ip / -up / -üp ending is a connecting suffix that joins two actions happening in a sequence, usually translated as "and" or "after doing". Here, konuşup translates to "after discussing" and links directly to the following action (yapmak).
Why is ayrıntıları in the accusative case?
It is the specific direct object of the verb konuşmak (to discuss). Because we are talking about specific details ("the details" rather than just "details" in general), it needs the accusative suffix -ı.
How does the word lazımdı get a past tense ending if it isn't a verb?
Lazım is an adjective meaning "necessary". In Turkish, you can attach the past tense copula (the -dı / -di endings) directly to nouns and adjectives to create the meaning "was". So, lazımdı simply means "was necessary".
