Questions & Answers about Panoya tutturacak raptiyeleri çekmeceden al.
How does tutturacak express 'to fasten' in this sentence?
This uses the future participle suffix -AcAk to show purpose or utility. While we often translate it with the English infinitive ('to fasten'), in Turkish it acts as an adjective describing what the noun is used for. So tutturacak raptiyeler literally means 'thumbtacks that will fasten' or 'thumbtacks for fastening'.
What is the root of tutturacak, and why does it have the -tur syllable?
The base verb is tutmak (to hold). Adding the causative suffix -tur makes it tutturmak, which means 'to cause to hold' or 'to fasten/attach'. The -acak suffix then turns this into the purpose participle for the thumbtacks.
Why is pano (board) in the dative case (panoya)?
The verb tutturmak (to fasten) requires the dative case for the surface or object you are attaching something to. Because you are fastening the thumbtacks to the board, it becomes panoya.
Why does raptiye (thumbtack) take the accusative suffix in raptiyeleri?
Because it is the specific direct object of the main verb al (take). Even though tutturacak describes what kind of thumbtacks they are, you are being told to take the specific thumbtacks from the drawer. The accusative suffix -i marks this definiteness.
