Questions & Answers about Yeter ki proje ölçeklenebilir olsun, finansman bulmak kolay.
Why do we use the imperative olsun here instead of the conditional olursa?
The phrase yeter ki ("provided that" or "as long as") requires the verb that follows it to be in the imperative or optative mood. So instead of using a conditional like "if it is", Turkish literally says "Provided that: let the project be..." Since proje is third-person, we use the third-person imperative olsun.
How is the word ölçeklenebilir (scalable) built?
It starts with the noun ölçek (scale). The suffix -len turns it into the verb ölçeklenmek (to be scaled). Then, the ability suffix -ebil and the aorist tense suffix -ir are added to create an adjective, literally meaning "capable of being scaled."
Why is the full infinitive bulmak used here instead of the short infinitive bulma?
In this sentence, the entire phrase finansman bulmak (finding financing) acts as the subject of the second clause. When talking about an action in a general, abstract sense without pointing to a specific person doing it (no possessive endings), Turkish typically uses the full -mak / -mek infinitive.
Why does the sentence end with just kolay instead of kolaydır?
In everyday Turkish, the "is" suffix -dır / -dir is often dropped from the end of a sentence when stating a simple fact. Adding it to make kolaydır is perfectly grammatical but would just make the statement sound slightly more formal.
