gerekli: necessary documents and information

The idea

Say gerekli bilgiler before a noun, belge gerekli as a statement, and gerekli mi? as a question.

Examples

• Pasaport gerekli mi?Is a passport necessary?
• Bu belge gerekli değil.This document is not necessary.
• Gerekli bilgiler burada.The necessary information is here.
• Bu iş için zaman gerekli.Time is necessary for this work.
• Bir bilet gerekli.A ticket is necessary.
• Bu dosyalar gerekli mi?Are these files necessary?

Watch out

Gerekli describes a requirement; mümkün describes possibility, which is a different idea.
