Questions & Answers about Hava çok bunaltıcı olursa diye kesinlikle tedarikli olmalıyız.
Why do we use olursa diye here instead of just olur diye?
Both olur diye and olursa diye can express precaution. However, adding the conditional suffix -sa in olursa makes the possibility feel slightly more hypothetical or remote. It is like saying "just in case it happens to get very sweltering" rather than "because it might get sweltering".
Could we drop diye and just say Hava çok bunaltıcı olursa kesinlikle tedarikli olmalıyız?
You could, but it changes the logic from a precaution to a direct condition. Without diye, it means "If the weather gets very sweltering, we must be prepared (at that exact moment)." With diye, it means "We must be prepared (now), in case the weather gets very sweltering (later)."
What is the literal meaning of tedarikli, and how is it formed?
It literally means provisioned or equipped. It comes from the noun tedarik (procurement or supply) plus the suffix -li (with). So tedarikli olmak means to have your supplies ready, which translates here as being prepared.
How do the suffixes in bunaltıcı build its meaning?
It starts with the verb bunalmak (to feel suffocated or overwhelmed). The causative suffix -t makes it bunaltmak (to suffocate or overwhelm). Finally, the adjective-forming suffix -ıcı turns it into bunaltıcı (sweltering, oppressive, or suffocating).
