He changes car every year. Duo says: o her yıl araba değiştirir. Why not arabayı? In all other practices in this lesson with Değiştirir, it’s accusative. Duo giysilerini her saat değiştirir. Ben sık sık telefonumu değiştiririm.
So why it is giysilerini, telefonumu?
Teşekkürler

Re: Aorist
Thank you for your reply but still I don’t understand what is the difference between changing car with phone or dress!

We are not talking about a specific car in this sentence, because as DmGabin said, it's a different (unspecified) car every year.

In those examples, we have a possessive suffix - giysilerini (his clothes), telefonumu (my telephone). The use of a possessive suffix makes the object specific. We're not talking about clothes in general, but about Duo's clothes (the clothes of Duo). My telephone is the telephone that belongs to me, i.e. a specific phone. So, when you use a possessive suffix in an object, then you need to add accusative case, too.
