Questions & Answers about Sunucu alabildiği kadar veri barındırıyor.
How does alabildiği kadar translate to "as much as it can take"?
It combines the verb root al (take/hold) with the ability suffix -abil, the participle -diğ, and the 3rd person possessive -i. When paired with kadar, it creates the target structure for maximal capacity, literally meaning "as much as its ability to take."
Why use the verb barındırıyor here for "hosts"?
The root is barınmak, which means "to take shelter" or "to lodge". By adding the causative suffix -dır, it becomes barındırmak, which means "to provide shelter to". In IT and computing contexts, this is the standard verb used for a server "hosting" data or a website.
Doesn't sunucu usually mean a TV presenter?
Yes! It comes from the verb sunmak (to present/offer). In everyday language, it refers to a host or presenter. However, in computing, sunucu is the standard Turkish translation for a "server", just as veri is the standard word for "data".
Could we change the word order and say "alabildiği veri kadar barındırıyor"?
No, that subtly changes the meaning. In the original sentence, alabildiği kadar acts as an adverbial phrase of quantity modifying veri (as much data as...). If you say "alabildiği veri kadar", it means "as much as the data it can take", comparing the server to the data itself rather than telling us the quantity of data it holds.
