Questions & Answers about Çalışanlara sunulan destekler nelerdir?
Both çalışanlara and sunulan use the -an suffix. How do they differ here?
Both use the -an / -en subject participle, but they act differently in this sentence. Çalışan literally means "the one who works," but is used here as an established noun meaning "employee" (taking the plural and dative suffixes). Sunulan remains a verbal adjective modifying destekler (the supports which are offered).
How do we break down the word sunulan?
The root is sunmak (to offer or present). The -ul suffix makes it passive: sunulmak (to be offered). Finally, the -an participle makes it an adjective. Together, sunulan means "which is offered."
Why is the dative case used in çalışanlara?
The verb sunmak takes the dative case for the recipient of the action because you are offering something to someone. Therefore, çalışanlar (employees) gets the dative suffix -a.
Why does the sentence end with nelerdir instead of just nedir?
Since the subject destekler (supports) is plural and the speaker expects a list of multiple things in response, the question word ne (what) takes the plural suffix -ler. The -dir suffix is the "to be" copula, adding a slightly formal or factual tone: "what exactly are they?"
