Questions & Answers about Burada yapmanız icap eden, bir beyanname ibraz etmekten ibarettir.
How does the grammar of the lesson apply to ibraz etmekten ibarettir?
The phrase uses the infinitive -mAk (etmek) plus the ablative suffix -DAn (-ten) followed by ibaret (consisting of). Together, ibraz etmekten ibaret means consists of presenting. The -tir suffix at the end is the copula (is) stating a formal fact.
Why is the subject participle eden used in yapmanız icap eden instead of the object participle ettiğiniz?
The verb icap etmek (to be necessary / to require) acts as the subject of its own relative clause here. Literally, this translates to the thing that requires your doing. Since the thing is the subject doing the requiring, we use the subject participle -(y)An (eden).
Why do we say yapmanız instead of just using the full infinitive yapmak?
To specify who is required to do the action, Turkish uses the short infinitive (verbal noun) -mA plus a possessive suffix. Here, yapma (the act of doing) takes the second-person formal or plural possessive -nız, making it your doing.
The words icap, beyanname, and ibraz feel very formal. Is this normal everyday Turkish?
