Questions & Answers about Hoparlör komutu anlasın diye kullanabileceğin kelimeler kısıtlı.
Break down the word kullanabileceğin. How does it mean "that you can use"?
This is the core of our current lesson! It is an object relative participle showing ability. It combines the verb root kullan (use) + -abil (can/ability) + -ecek (relative participle suffix for potential/future) + -in (your). It modifies kelimeler to mean "the words that you can use". Notice that we use -ecek rather than -dik when expressing a potential ability.
Why is anlasın used here? Isn't that the imperative form meaning "let it understand"?
Yes, anlasın is the third-person imperative form. When you want to say "so that [subject] does [action]", Turkish commonly uses the imperative (or optative for first-person) followed by the conjunction diye. Therefore, hoparlör ... anlasın diye creates a purpose clause meaning "so that the speaker understands".
Why does the word for "command" take the accusative case here (komutu)?
It takes the accusative suffix -u because it is the specific direct object of the verb anlasın (understand). The sentence refers to understanding the specific command you give the smart speaker, not just commands in general.
Where is the verb at the end of the sentence? How does kısıtlı act as a complete predicate?
