Explain your role, actions, results and the limits of your individual contribution.
How the language works
Structure your answer with jağdai — ‘situation’, mındet — ‘task’, äreket — ‘action’, and nätije — ‘result’. Öz ülesım means ‘my contribution’; toptyñ ortaq eñbegı means ‘the team’s collective work’. Avoid overstating causation: yqpal ettı means ‘influenced/contributed to’.
