Questions & Answers about Ortaklık kuralım, yeter ki etkili bir plan sunsunlar.
Why does this sentence use the imperative sunsunlar instead of a regular present tense like sunarlar?
The conjunction yeter ki (provided that / as long as) requires the verb that follows it to be in the imperative or optative mood. Here, sunsunlar is the third-person plural imperative (literally "let them offer"). English translates this simply as "as long as they offer", but Turkish uses the imperative to express the strict condition or requirement.
Is kuralım also triggered by yeter ki?
No, kuralım is the main verb of the first clause and is independent of yeter ki. It uses the first-person plural optative suffix -alım to mean "let's establish" (from kurmak). The yeter ki condition only affects the verb in its own clause (sunsunlar).
Can the yeter ki clause come at the beginning of the sentence?
Yes! You can say Yeter ki etkili bir plan sunsunlar, ortaklık kuralım. Placing it at the beginning places stronger emphasis on the condition right away. Putting it at the end, as in this example, feels a bit more conversational, like adding a condition to the proposal as an afterthought.
