Questions & Answers about Uygulamanın ayarlayabileceği termostat salonda.
How do we break down the complex word ayarlayabileceği?
It starts with the verb ayarlamak (to adjust). We add the buffer -y-, the potential suffix -abil (can), the relative participle -ecek (that), and the 3rd person singular possessive suffix -i. The addition of the vowel suffix -i causes the k in -ecek to soften to ğ.
Why is the word for app in the genitive case (uygulamanın)?
In Turkish object relative clauses, the subject of the clause (the one doing the action) takes the genitive case. Since the app is doing the adjusting, it becomes uygulamanın. This pairs with the possessive suffix -i at the end of ayarlayabileceği.
Why does this sentence use the future participle -ecek instead of -dik for a general ability?
When creating an object relative clause with the potential suffix -bil (can), Turkish almost always uses the -ecek participle rather than -dik, even if it refers to a present or general ability rather than a strictly future one.
Where is the verb 'is' in this sentence?
There is no separate verb for 'is' here. Adding the locative suffix -da to salon makes salonda (in the living room). When placed at the end of the sentence as the predicate, it naturally means 'is in the living room'.
