Questions & Answers about Sunması icap eden sabıka kaydının yeni olması gerekli mi?
How does sunması icap eden translate to "that he is required to present"?
This uses the structure taught in this lesson: verbal noun (-mA) + possessive suffix + icap eden. Here, sun-ma-sı means "his presenting." Followed by icap eden (which requires or makes necessary), the literal meaning is "which his presenting requires." In natural English, this translates to "that he is required to present."
Why is there a genitive suffix (-nın) on sabıka kaydının?
It links the "criminal record" to the verbal noun olması (being). The phrase sabıka kaydının yeni olması literally means "the criminal record's being recent." In Turkish, you express this type of subordinate clause by putting the subject in the genitive case (-nIn) and adding a possessive suffix to the verbal noun (-mA-sI).
What happened to the word for "record" (kayıt) in sabıka kaydının?
When forming the noun compound sabıka kaydı (criminal record), the possessive compound marker -ı is added to kayıt. This triggers a vowel drop in the second syllable and voices the t to a d, resulting in kaydı. Finally, the buffer consonant -n- is added before the genitive suffix, making it kaydının.
Could I use gereken instead of icap eden in this sentence?
