Questions & Answers about Onlara dair varış anonsu yanlış.
Why does it say onlara dair instead of just onlar dair?
The postposition dair (about/regarding) always requires the word before it to take the dative case (the "to/for" direction). So we take onlar (they) and add the dative suffix -a to make it onlara dair.
Could I use hakkında or ile ilgili instead of dair in this sentence?
Yes, but the endings on onlar would change to match the new word's rules. You would say onlar hakkında (or onların hakkında) or onlarla ilgili (which needs the "with" ending -la). Dair is a great choice here because it is often preferred in formal contexts like announcements, news, or reports.
Why is there a -u at the end of anonsu?
It is creating a noun compound. When combining two separate nouns like varış (arrival) and anons (announcement) to make a single concept ("arrival announcement"), Turkish links them by adding a possessive suffix to the second word.
