Questions & Answers about Antrenör programı kontrol edip onayladığı halde tartılmak istemiyor.
How does onayladığı halde mean "even though he approves"?
This uses the grammar structure for "even though". You take the verb onaylamak (to approve), add the -dık suffix (which softens to -dığ), and then add the third-person possessive suffix -ı (his/her). Finally, adding the word halde creates the concessive clause, giving the meaning "even though he approves".
Why do we use kontrol edip instead of just saying kontrol ediyor ve?
The -(y)ıp suffix is a natural way to link two actions done by the same subject. Instead of adding grammar endings to both verbs, you put -ip on the first verb (kontrol etmek) to act as "and". Then you only put the full "even though" grammar on the second verb (onaylamak).
Why doesn't Antrenör have a genitive suffix (like Antrenörün) if onayladığı has a possessive ending?
Normally, the -dık structure requires a genitive-possessive pair. If the sentence had two different subjects, it would be antrenörün onayladığı halde. However, because the coach is the subject of both halves of the sentence (he approves the program, and he doesn't want to be weighed), the genitive suffix on the subject is dropped to make the sentence flow better.
How is tartılmak different from tartmak?
Tartmak means "to weigh" something actively. By adding the passive suffix -ıl-, it becomes tartılmak, which means "to be weighed". The sentence uses this passive form because the coach does not want to physically be weighed himself.
