Questions & Answers about Materyalleri incelemeden önce teorik bilgiyi öğrendi.
Since this lesson is about -den ziyade, is incelemeden önce using that same ablative structure?
Yes, it is! Just like ziyade (rather than/instead of) requires the ablative case (-den/-dan), so does the postposition önce (before). The verb incelemek is turned into a noun (inceleme), gets the ablative suffix (-den), and is followed by önce.
Why is materyalleri in the accusative case if it isn't the object of the main verb (öğrendi)?
Because it is the specific direct object of the action incelemeden (examining). In Turkish, even when a verb is turned into a verbal noun or part of an adverbial clause, it still commands its own objects in the accusative case just like a regular verb would.
Is incelemek (to examine) related to the adjective ince (thin/fine)?
Exactly! It comes from the adjective ince. Adding the verb-making suffix -le gives us incelemek, which conceptually means "to look at the fine details of something," hence, to examine or inspect.
