Questions & Answers about Projeyi somut verilerle detaylandırmakta yarar var.
Why do we use the locative case (-ta) on the infinitive detaylandırmak?
This is the standard formula for expressing advisability: infinitive + locative (-makta or -mekte) + yarar var (or fayda var). Literally, it translates to "There is benefit in detailing...". It is a very natural way to say "It is a good idea to..." or "It is advisable to...".
How is the verb detaylandırmakta built from the noun detay (detail)?
It is a great example of Turkish suffixes! You start with the noun detay. Adding -lan makes it a verb meaning "to acquire detail" (detaylanmak). Adding the causative -dır makes it transitive: "to cause to have detail" or "to detail" (detaylandırmak). Finally, we add the infinitive -mak and the locative -ta for our lesson's grammar structure.
Why is proje in the accusative case (projeyi)?
Because it is the specific direct object of the verb detaylandırmak (to detail). Even though detaylandırmakta acts like a noun in the wider sentence ("in detailing"), it still governs its objects just like a regular verb. Since we mean the specific project, it gets the accusative suffix -(y)i.
The lesson mentions both fayda var and yarar var. Is there a difference between them?
