Questions & Answers about Kontrol etmeniz icap eden sicil kaydını müdüre verdim.
How does the icap eden relative clause structure work to mean "that you are required to check"?
This structure translates to "the [noun] that [someone] needs to [verb]". First, we take the verb kontrol etmek (to check), turn it into a verbal noun with -me, and add the possessive -niz (your) to show who needs to do the action. This gives us kontrol etmeniz (your checking). Then we add icap eden (which is necessary) right before the noun. Literally, it means "the register record which your checking is necessary."
Could I use gereken instead of icap eden here?
Yes, they are completely interchangeable in this context. You could say kontrol etmeniz gereken sicil kaydını. The verb icap etmek means "to be necessary" or "to be required" just like gerekmek, but it sounds slightly more formal or traditional.
Why are there two -ı suffixes at the end of sicil kaydını?
The phrase sicil kaydı is a noun compound meaning "register record," so it takes the possessive compound suffix -ı. Because this whole phrase is the specific direct object of the verb verdim (I gave), it also needs the accusative case suffix. A buffer -n- is used between them, giving us kayd-ı-n-ı.
What happens to the word kayıt (record) when it becomes kayd- in this sentence?
Two common phonetic changes occur at the same time because we are adding a suffix that starts with a vowel. First, the word loses the vowel in its second syllable (vowel drop). Second, the hard t at the end softens to a d (consonant mutation). So, kayıt becomes kayd-, and with the suffix added, it is kaydı.
