Questions & Answers about Şiir, yayınevi tarafından yayımlanacak.
Why do we use tarafından here, and could we just add the -ce suffix to yayınevi instead?
Tarafından translates to "by" in passive sentences to show who is doing the action. While the suffix -ce or -ca can also mean "by", it is usually reserved for formal authorities or broad collective bodies (like hükümetçe, meaning "by the government"). For a specific commercial entity like a publishing house, tarafından is the standard choice and sounds much more natural.
How is the passive voice built in the word yayımlanacak?
The base verb is yayımlamak (to publish). To make it passive, we need a passive suffix. Since the verb root yayımla- ends in a vowel, we use the suffix -n instead of the more common -ıl. This gives us yayımlan- (to be published), to which we add the future tense suffix -acak to get yayımlanacak.
Why does the word yayınevi end with an -i?
Yayınevi (publishing house) is a noun compound made of two separate nouns: yayın (publication) and ev (house). In Turkish, when two nouns combine like this to form a new concept, the second noun must take the third-person possessive suffix. That suffix is the -i at the end of evi.
I sometimes see this verb spelled with an 'n' as yayınlanacak. Is that also correct?
You will see both out in the wild, but yayımlanacak (with an 'm') is the officially correct spelling. The noun form is yayın with an 'n', but the verb form is yayımlamak with an 'm'. Mixing these two up is a very common mistake even among native Turkish speakers, so don't worry if it trips you up!
