2. /a/ to be hitched (to).
3. /a/ to be assigned to escort (someone).
4. /a/ to be put to work alongside (someone). |
As I understand it, they tell you which noun state is taken by that verb. So for example.......
1 - seni seviyorum - I love you
2 - sana tapıyorum - I adore you
In 1 'you' is in the accusative state (seni) because the verb sevmek takes the /ı/ state
In 2 'you' is in the dative state (sana) because the verb tapmak takes the /a/ state
sevmek
/ı/
1. to love; to like.
tapmak
/a/
1. to worship, regard (someone, something) as divine.
2. to adore, idolize (someone)

2. /a/ to be hitched (to).
3. /a/ to be assigned to escort (someone).
4. /a/ to be put to work alongside (someone). |
In this case the same verb takes different noun states depending upon context......
araba koşulıyor
He is making the cart ready for departure
çocuğa koşulecek
He will escort the child
probably very bad examples :-S

Yes Bod's explanation is correct but unfortunately that verb wasn't so suitable so the examples are not so suitable either.
Here is another example:
hoşlanmak
/dan/ to like, be pleased with; to enjoy.
What the /dan/ means is that the verb when used with the -dan case has the following meaning next to. For instance okuldan hoşlanmak.
The Genitive is the Case of Ownership
Accusative: -i/-ı/-u/-ü
The Accusative is the Direct Object of a Verb - it equates to - the.. - in English
Dative: -a/-e
The Dative is the Case of Movement Towards - it equates to - to., towards.. - in English.
Locative: -da/-de or -ta/-te - according to Consonant Mutation rules.
The Locative is the Case of Place - it equates to - in.. on.. at.. - in English.
Ablative: -dan/-den or -tan/-ten - according to Consonant Mutation rules.
The Dative is the Case of Movement Away - it equates to - from.. by.. via.. - in English.

Could you explain what you mean by the verb not being so suitable?
