Questions & Answers about Nesnel rapor kaydın sahte olduğunu kanıtladı.
What is the basic grammatical structure of Nesnel rapor kaydın sahte olduğunu kanıtladı?
The sentence follows a very common Turkish pattern:
Subject + embedded clause + main verb
Breakdown:
- Nesnel rapor = objective report
- kaydın sahte olduğunu = that the recording was/is fake
- kanıtladı = proved
So the whole sentence is literally something like:
The objective report proved [the recording’s being fake].
That middle part, kaydın sahte olduğunu, is an embedded clause acting as the direct object of kanıtladı.
Where is the word for that in this sentence?
There is no separate word for that here.
In English, we say:
- The report proved that the recording was fake.
In Turkish, this kind of that-clause is often expressed with a nominalized clause instead of a separate conjunction. That is what kaydın sahte olduğunu is doing.
So Turkish often uses structure rather than a standalone word to express English that.
Why is kaydın in the genitive form?
