Questions & Answers about Şirket, personelin faaliyetlerini artırması amacıyla yeni bir sistem kurdu.
Why do we use the verbal noun artırması instead of the infinitive artırmak here?
Because the subject of the purpose clause is different from the main clause. The company (Şirket) set up the system, but the staff (personel) is the one doing the increasing. When the subjects are different, we use the genitive-possessive construction (personelin ... artırması) before amacıyla. If the company were increasing its own activities, it would simply be faaliyetlerini artırmak amacıyla.
How does the word amacıyla literally translate to 'with the aim of'?
It is made of amaç (aim or purpose), the possessive suffix -ı (linking it to the verbal noun before it), the buffer letter -y-, and the instrumental suffix -la (with). So it literally translates as 'with its aim'.
Can I just use için instead of amacıyla in this sentence?
Yes, you could say personelin faaliyetlerini artırması için. However, amacıyla (and the similar word maksadıyla) sounds much more formal and professional, which perfectly fits the corporate context of a company setting up a new system.
Can we break down the multiple suffixes on faaliyetlerini?
