Questions & Answers about Müsabakaya katılacaksa, on gramdan fazla almaması gereken kreatin takviyeleri var.
Why does the sentence use katılacaksa instead of just katılırsa?
Katılacaksa combines the future tense -acak and the conditional -sa, meaning 'if he is going to participate.' Using the aorist katılırsa would mean 'if he participates' as a general possibility. The future conditional shows this depends on a specific, planned future event.
How do we get 'that he must not take' from almaması gereken?
To say 'which someone must do,' Turkish uses a verbal noun with a possessive suffix followed by gereken (the relative participle of gerekmek, 'to be necessary'). So, almaması gereken literally means 'which his-not-taking is necessary.'
Why does almaması have two ma syllables?
The first ma is the negative suffix ('not'), and the second ma is the verbal noun suffix that turns the verb into a noun. The final sı is the 3rd person possessive, creating 'his not taking.'
