Questions & Answers about Bu kampanya gençleri hedefliyor; mesajları sade tutuyoruz.

Why does the object appear as gençleri and not just gençler?

Because Turkish marks a specific/definite direct object with the accusative suffix. Gençleri = definite plural accusative (the young people). Without the accusative, gençler would be read as a subject or an indefinite noun and would be ungrammatical here. Compare:

• Bu kampanya gençleri hedefliyor. (definite object)
• Gençler kampanyayı hedefliyor. (now gençler is the subject)

What exactly does mesajları mean here?

It’s ambiguous in form and can mean either:

• definite plural accusative: the messages
• 3rd-person possessive plural: his/her/their messages

In this sentence, context makes it read as “the messages (of this campaign).” If you need to remove ambiguity, add a possessor: bu kampanyanın mesajlarını or onların mesajlarını.

Who is the subject in each clause?

• Clause 1: Bu kampanya (3rd person singular) is the subject of hedefliyor.
• Clause 2: The subject is we, implied by the verb ending -yoruz in tutuyoruz. Turkish drops pronouns when verb agreement already shows person/number. You can say Biz mesajları sade tutuyoruz for emphasis.
