Questions & Answers about Vekâletnamenin yanı sıra onaylatması icap eden başka bir belge yok.
How does the phrase onaylatması icap eden belge work grammatically?
This is a relative clause of necessity. We use the verbal noun onaylatma (getting approved) with the possessive suffix -sı (his/her). Then we add icap eden (which is necessary) and the noun belge (document). Literally, it translates to 'the document which his getting-approved is necessary'.
Why is there a -t- in onaylatması instead of just saying onaylaması?
The base verb onaylamak means 'to approve.' Adding the causative suffix -t turns it into onaylatmak, meaning 'to get [something] approved' or 'to have [someone] approve [it].' Since the person isn't the authority approving the document but is having an official do it, the causative form is required.
Why does vekâletname have the genitive suffix -nin here?
The phrase yanı sıra (along with / besides) requires the preceding noun to be in the genitive case if it is a specific, definite thing. Because the sentence refers to a specific power of attorney, it becomes vekâletnamenin yanı sıra.
Can I use gereken instead of icap eden in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely! İcap etmek and gerekmek both mean 'to be necessary.' İcap eden is a slightly more formal or traditional way of saying gereken. The sentence would mean exactly the same thing if it ended with onaylatması gereken başka bir belge yok.
