Questions & Answers about Bu algoritma eski makineleri işlevsiz kılıyor.
Why use kılıyor here instead of yapıyor?
Kılmak is a formal auxiliary verb used to mean 'to render' or 'to make into a specific state'. While you could say işlevsiz yapıyor (makes useless) in everyday speech, işlevsiz kılıyor sounds much more formal, technical, or academic, perfectly fitting a sentence about algorithms.
What is the grammatical structure for using kılmak in this way?
The formula is [Direct Object in Accusative case] + [Adjective or Noun] + kılmak. In this sentence, that breaks down as eski makineleri (the direct object) + işlevsiz (the adjective describing the new state) + kılıyor (the verb).
Why does makineleri have the accusative -i ending?
The verb kılmak takes a direct object because you are rendering 'something' into a state. Here, the algorithm is directly acting upon a specific category of things (old machines), so eski makineler takes the specific direct object suffix to become eski makineleri.
Could I put işlevsiz before eski makineleri?
No, because işlevsiz is not acting as a normal adjective modifying the machines here (which would mean 'the useless old machines'). Instead, it describes the result of the action. In Turkish, the word indicating the resulting state must stay firmly attached right before the auxiliary verb kılmak.
