Questions & Answers about Kanal yönetimi reytingleri saniyede bir kontrol etmiş olsa gerek.
Why do we use the locative case in saniyede bir?
What is the grammatical structure behind etmiş olsa gerek?
This structure is used for strong deductions, translating to 'must have done something'. It combines the past participle -miş (here, etmiş), the conditional olsa, and the word gerek (necessary). Together, etmiş olsa gerek means 'they must have checked'.
Why is there an -i at the end of reytingleri?
The verb kontrol etmek (to check) takes a direct object. Because the sentence refers to specific ratings ('the ratings'), we need the accusative case. The plural word reytingler gets the accusative suffix -i, making it reytingleri.
Why is it yönetimi instead of just yönetim for 'management'?
