Questions & Answers about Sisteme programlayabileceğin komutlar çok basit.
How does the word programlayabileceğin break down into suffixes?
It forms the core of this lesson's grammar: the potential relative participle. Here is the breakdown: programla- (stem: to program) + -y- (buffer) + -abil- (potential: can/able to) + -ecek (object participle) + -in (2nd person singular possessive: your). The -k in -ecek softens to -ğ because it is followed by a vowel. Literally, it acts as an adjective meaning 'your-able-to-program'.
The stem is programla- and the potential suffix is -abil-. Why is there a -y- in the middle?
Because the verb stem programla- ends in a vowel and the potential suffix -abil- begins with one. Turkish does not allow these two vowels to sit directly next to each other, so the buffer consonant -y- is inserted to connect them smoothly, creating programlayabil-.
Why do we use the dative case in sisteme?
In English, we usually say we program commands 'into' a system. In Turkish, the verb programlamak (to program) takes the dative case (-e / -a) to show the direction or destination of the data being entered. Therefore, sistem becomes sisteme.
Why isn't there a 'to be' suffix (like -tir) at the end of basit to mean 'are'?
