Questions & Answers about Hızlı aktarım için yeni belleği biçimlendirebildiğim kadar biçimlendiriyorum.
How exactly does biçimlendirebildiğim kadar mean as much as I can?
This relies on the structure taught in this lesson. It is built on the verb root biçimlendir- (to format). First, we add the ability suffix -(y)ebil, making it biçimlendirebil-. Then we add the participle suffix -dik (which softens to -diğ) and the first-person possessive -im (my). This creates biçimlendirebildiğim, literally that which I am able to format. Finally, adding kadar gives us as much as I am able to format.
Why is the verb for formatting repeated in biçimlendirebildiğim kadar biçimlendiriyorum?
In Turkish, to express doing an action as much as you can, it is standard practice to repeat the verb. The first instance takes the as much as I am able structure (biçimlendirebildiğim kadar), and the second acts as the main verb of the sentence carrying the actual tense (biçimlendiriyorum). Literally, it reads as I am formatting as much as I am able to format.
The word biçimlendiriyorum looks very long. How is the root built?
It is built from a chain of suffixes. It starts with the noun biçim (shape or form). Adding -len makes it the verb biçimlenmek (to take shape). Adding the causative suffix -dir makes it biçimlendirmek (to give shape to, or in computing contexts, to format).
Why does belleği have a ğ instead of a k?
The root word is bellek (memory). Because it is the specific direct object of the verb formatting, it needs the accusative case suffix -i. When a suffix starting with a vowel is added to a noun ending in k, the k softens to a ğ due to consonant mutation.
How is the word aktarım formed?
It comes from the verb aktarmak, which means to transfer, transmit, or convey. The suffix -ım is a very common ending used to turn verbs into nouns that represent the action or the result of that verb.
