Questions & Answers about Çerçeve sünger ile siliniyor ve toz temizleniyor.
How is the passive voice formed in siliniyor?
The root verb is silmek (to wipe). Because it ends in the consonant l, we add the passive suffix -in to match vowel harmony. Then we add the present continuous suffix -iyor, making it siliniyor (is being wiped).
How does the passive suffix attach to temizleniyor?
The root verb is temizlemek (to clean). Because it ends in a vowel, the passive suffix drops its own vowel, so we only add the letter -n, making it temizlenmek. When we add the present continuous suffix -iyor, the original e narrows to i, resulting in temizleniyor.
Why are çerçeve and toz not in the accusative case here?
Even though the frame and the dust are receiving the action, they are the grammatical subjects of these passive verbs. In passive sentences, the object of the action becomes the new subject, so they stay in the plain (nominative) case rather than taking the accusative endings like çerçeveyi or tozu.
Could we write sünger ile as a single word?
Yes, you will very often see this written as an attached suffix: süngerle. Writing ile as a separate word means exactly the same thing (with a sponge) but is just a slightly more formal or deliberate stylistic choice.
