Questions & Answers about Tamamlamanız icap eden ilişik belgeleri arşivde.
How does the grammar in tamamlamanız icap eden work to mean "that you are required to complete"?
This is the relative clause structure for necessity. It uses the verbal noun tamamlama (completing) plus the possessive -nız (your), followed by icap eden (the relative participle of icap etmek, meaning "which necessitates"). Literally, it translates to "which necessitates your completing."
Why is there an -i on the end of belgeleri? Doesn't that make it an accusative (direct object), even though it's the subject of the sentence?
That -i is actually the possessive suffix used to form a noun compound, not the accusative case marker. The words ilişik (relation/attachment) and belgeler join to form the compound ilişik belgeleri (clearance documents). Because this entire compound phrase is the subject of the sentence, it doesn't take any additional case endings.
I usually see ilişik translated as "attached." How does it mean "clearance" here?
In official or bureaucratic Turkish, ilişik is often part of the phrase ilişik kesme (literally "cutting the attachment"), which refers to "clearance" or officially severing ties with an institution, like checking out of a university or leaving a job. Here, it acts as a common shorthand for those official clearance documents.
Why is there no verb at the end of the sentence?
