Questions & Answers about Yeter ki finansman sunalım, ortaklığı reddetmemeliler.
Why does the sentence use the optative sunalım instead of the conditional sunarsak?
The conjunction yeter ki (provided that / as long as) naturally triggers the optative or imperative mood rather than the conditional. Even though English uses the standard present tense here ('as long as we offer'), Turkish uses the optative -alım ('let us offer') to express the required condition.
Could I just say Finansman sunarsak... instead of using Yeter ki?
Yes, but it changes the tone. Finansman sunarsak simply means 'If we offer financing.' Using yeter ki makes it 'Just so long as we offer financing,' emphasizing that this is the one and only hurdle; once cleared, they should accept.
Why does the word ret turn into reddetmemeliler with a double 'd'?
The verb reddetmek is formed by combining the Arabic loanword ret (rejection) with the helper verb etmek (to do). When a vowel-initial suffix or helper verb attaches to certain single-syllable loanwords, the final consonant doubles and voices ('t' becomes 'd'), creating reddet-.
