Questions & Answers about Şirkette görevim, raporları kaşelemekten ve ciltlemekten ibarettir.
Why do the verbs kaşelemekten and ciltlemekten take the ablative -ten suffix?
The word ibaret (consisting of) always requires the noun or verbal noun before it to be in the ablative case (-den or -dan). Because of this rule, 'consisting of stamping' becomes kaşelemekten ibarettir.
Why is raporları in the accusative case?
Even though kaşelemek and ciltlemek have noun-like endings here, they still act as verbs that can take a direct object. Because the speaker is referring to specific reports being handled, raporlar takes the accusative suffix -ı.
Could we just put the ablative suffix on the very last verb, saying kaşelemek ve ciltlemekten?
Yes, you can! When listing verbal nouns connected by ve, it is very common to only add the case suffix to the final verb to avoid repetition. The sentence as written is just slightly more formal and explicit.
How are the verbs kaşelemek and ciltlemek formed?
They are built from nouns using the highly common -le suffix, which turns nouns into verbs. Kaşe means a rubber stamp, so kaşelemek means to stamp. Cilt means a book cover or binding, making ciltlemek to bind.
