Breakdown of Söz hakkı olmadan tartışmaya katılmak zor olur.
Questions & Answers about Söz hakkı olmadan tartışmaya katılmak zor olur.
- söz = “word/speech” (first noun in a compound stays bare)
- hak = “right” + -ı = 3rd-person singular possessive suffix (“his/her/its right”)
→ söz hakkı literally “speech’s right,” idiomatically “the right to speak.”
olmadan is the negative converb (verbal adverb) of olmak (“to be/have”), formed as:
• ol- (root “be/have”)
• -ma- (negative marker)
• -dan (converb ending)
Together ol-ma-dan = “without being/having,” introducing an adverbial “without …” clause.
The verb katılmak (“to join/participate in”) governs the dative case. In Turkish you “join to” something, so tartışma takes -ya:
tartışmaya katılmak = “to join the discussion.”
The -madan clause already provides the condition (“without X”). Turkish often omits an explicit -sa (“if”) when “without X” implies “if you don’t have X.” So you simply state the result:
zor olur = “it becomes/is difficult.”
- zor olur = general/future‐oriented statement (“it would be difficult” or “it’s difficult in such cases”).
- zor olurdu adds a more remote or counterfactual conditional nuance.
- zordu refers to a past difficulty.
Here a neutral, general sense uses zor olur.
Yes. A more formal alternative is olmaksızın (“without”), so you could say:
Söz hakkı olmaksızın tartışmaya katılmak zor olur.
In everyday speech, olmadan is more common.
Absolutely. Turkish allows flexible word order for emphasis:
• Tartışmaya söz hakkı olmadan katılmak zor olur.
• Tartışmaya katılmak, söz hakkı olmadan zor olur.
The core meaning stays the same; fronting a phrase changes the focus.
