Questions & Answers about Net kanıta rağmen gerçeği gizliyor.
Why is it kanıta rağmen and not just kanıt rağmen?
The postposition rağmen (despite) always requires the noun before it to take the dative case. This is why the dative suffix -a (meaning 'to' or 'towards') is attached to kanıt (evidence).
Where does the -i come from in gerçeği, and why does the word end in ğ instead of k?
The root word is gerçek (truth). Because it is the specific direct object of the verb (she is hiding the truth), it takes the accusative case suffix -i. When adding a vowel suffix to a Turkish word ending in k, the k softens to a ğ (consonant mutation). Thus, gerçek + -i becomes gerçeği.
The dictionary form for 'to hide' is gizlemek. Why does it become gizliyor here?
This happens because of vowel narrowing. When a verb stem ends in a wide vowel like e (as in gizle-), adding the present continuous suffix -yor causes that e to narrow into an i. So, instead of gizleyor, it becomes gizliyor.
Does net mean 'clear' for everything, like a clear sky or clear water?
