Questions & Answers about Sözleşmeyi detaylandırmak için bir avukata danışmakta yarar var.
How exactly does danışmakta yarar var translate to 'it is advisable to consult'?
This is the core formula you are learning for expressing advisability: the infinitive -mAk plus the locative case -tA followed by yarar var (or fayda var). Literally, it translates to 'there is benefit in consulting.' It is a very natural way in Turkish to say 'it would be a good idea to' or 'it is advisable to' do something.
How is the verb detaylandırmak constructed from the noun detay?
It is built through a chain of suffixes that are great to recognize at the B2 level. We start with the noun detay (detail). Adding -lAn turns it into the intransitive verb detaylanmak (to become detailed). Then, the causative suffix -dIr makes it the transitive verb detaylandırmak (to make something detailed). Finally, -mAk turns it into an infinitive.
Why does the sentence use the dative case in avukata danışmakta?
In Turkish, the verb danışmak (to consult) requires its object to be in the dative case (-(y)A). While in English you consult someone as a direct object, in Turkish you logically consult 'to' someone. Therefore, 'to consult a lawyer' must be written as bir avukata danışmak.
Could I use fayda var instead of yarar var in this sentence?
