Questions & Answers about Toplantıdan önce taslağı revize etmekte yarar var.
What is the literal meaning of the formula used in revize etmekte yarar var?
It literally translates to "There is benefit in revising." The formula combines the infinitive verb revize etmek (to revise), the locative case suffix -te (in), and the phrase yarar var (there is benefit). This is a standard way to express "it is advisable to" or "it's a good idea to" do something.
Can I use fayda var instead of yarar var in this sentence?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable. Fayda and yarar both mean "benefit" or "use." Fayda is an Arabic loanword, while yarar is of Turkic origin.
Why is taslak (draft) written as taslağı here?
It takes the definite accusative case suffix -ı because it is the specific direct object of the verb revize etmek (to revise the draft). Adding this vowel suffix causes the final consonant k in taslak to soften into a ğ.
Why does toplantı (meeting) take the ablative suffix -dan in toplantıdan önce?
The word önce (before) functions as a postposition that strictly requires the preceding noun to take the ablative case (-dAn). Therefore, "before the meeting" must be formed as toplantıdan önce.
