Questions & Answers about Şantiye çok gürültülü çünkü birinci baraj inşa ediliyor.

How is the passive voice formed in inşa ediliyor?
The base verb is inşa etmek (to build or construct). To make a compound verb that uses etmek passive, the helper verb changes to edilmek. Then, we apply the standard tense rules. Here, we add the present continuous ending -iyor, giving us inşa ediliyor (is being built).
Why do we use ediliyor here instead of the simple present form edilir?
We use the present continuous suffix -iyor because the construction is happening right now, which is what makes the site noisy. If we used the simple present (aorist) form inşa edilir, it would mean "the dam is built" as a general fact or routine, rather than an ongoing action.
In the phrase birinci baraj inşa ediliyor, is the dam the subject or the object?
In this passive sentence, birinci baraj is the grammatical subject. In an active sentence like "They are building the first dam", the dam is the object. But when we switch to the passive voice, the thing receiving the action gets promoted to become the new subject.
What does the suffix on gürültülü do?
The root word is gürültü, which is the noun for "noise". The suffix -lü is a vowel-harmonized version of -li, which means "with" or "containing". Adding it turns the noun into the adjective gürültülü, meaning "noisy".
