Questions & Answers about Müfettiş ve gözetmen tesisi teftiş edecek.
The subjects are müfettiş (inspector) and gözetmen (supervisor), which is two people. Why is the verb singular (edecek) instead of plural (edecekler)?
In Turkish, when a compound subject refers to humans (connected by ve), the verb can take the plural suffix (edecekler) to emphasize them as individuals. However, leaving the verb in the 3rd person singular (edecek) is also grammatically correct and very common, especially when the subjects are acting together as a single unit or team.
Is there a connection between the words müfettiş (inspector) and teftiş (inspection)?
Yes! Both words come from the same Arabic root (f-t-ş, relating to searching or inspecting). At the B2 level, you will start noticing this pattern in Arabic loanwords: a word starting with mü- or mu- often represents the person performing the action, while a related word (like teftiş) describes the action itself.
How is the word gözetmen (supervisor) formed?
It is built from the verb gözetmek (to watch over, to supervise), which originally comes from göz (eye). The suffix -men (or -man) is added to create a noun for a person performing that role or profession. You already know this suffix from words like öğretmen (teacher) and yönetmen (director).
Why does tesis (facility) have an -i at the end in this sentence?
Because it is the specific direct object of the compound verb teftiş etmek (to inspect). Since they are inspecting a specific, known facility, tesis takes the definite accusative case ending -i, becoming tesisi.
