Questions & Answers about Şirket insan işgücünü atıl kıldı, oysa biz buna hazır değildik.
Why is kıldı used here instead of yaptı for "made"?
Kılmak is a formal auxiliary verb used to mean "to render" or "to make into a certain state." While you could colloquially say atıl yaptı, using kılmak elevates the register, making it much more appropriate for formal or business contexts like discussing a company's workforce.
Why does işgücünü have two -ü suffixes at the end?
The word for "workforce" is a compound noun: işgücü (from iş + güç, plus the compound marker -ü). Because the workforce is the specific direct object being rendered redundant, it needs the accusative case. We add the buffer -n- and the accusative -ü, resulting in işgücünü.
Why is "ready for this" translated using the dative buna instead of bunun için?
In Turkish, the adjective hazır (ready) governs the dative case to indicate what you are ready for. Instead of translating "for" literally with için, Turkish structurally expresses this as being ready "to" something, hence buna hazır.
Could I use ama or fakat instead of oysa here?
