Questions & Answers about Ağı yapılandırmak için bütün ayarları sıfırlamalıymış.
How do we get "supposedly must" from sıfırlamalıymış?
It is a combination of the necessity suffix -malı (must) and the reportative/hearsay suffix -(y)mış (supposedly / I heard that). The root is sıfırlamak (to reset, literally "to make zero" from sıfır). So, sıfırlamalı (he must reset) becomes sıfırlamalıymış (he supposedly must reset / someone said he has to reset).
Why are both ağı and ayarları in the accusative case (ending in -ı)?
They are the specific direct objects of their respective verbs. Ağı (the network) is the object of yapılandırmak (to configure), and ayarları (the settings) is the object of sıfırlamalıymış (he must reset). Because the sentence refers to a specific network and all the settings, the accusative case is required for both.
How is the verb yapılandırmak (to configure) built?
It comes from the noun yapı (structure/building). Adding the suffix -lan makes it the verb yapılanmak (to be structured / to take shape). Then, adding the causative suffix -dır gives us yapılandırmak, which literally means "to cause to be structured" or "to configure."
Could I say ağı yapılandırmaya instead of ağı yapılandırmak için to mean "to configure the network"?
