Questions & Answers about Fenomenin ünü her yere yayıldı, onlar bile büyük ilgi gösterdi.
Why does bile come after onlar?
In Turkish, the emphatic particle bile (meaning "even") always comes immediately after the word it emphasizes. To say "even they", you must say onlar bile. Note that bile is a separate word and never takes suffixes.
Doesn't fenomen just mean "phenomenon"? Why is it translated as "internet celebrity"?
While fenomen technically means "phenomenon", in modern everyday Turkish it is the most common word for a social media influencer or internet celebrity. The -in suffix makes it possessive, meaning "the internet celebrity's".
Why is the dative case used in her yere instead of just her yer?
The verb yayılmak (to spread) implies movement or expansion toward a destination. Because the fame is spreading to places, yer (place) requires the dative direction suffix -e.
Why isn't there an accusative suffix on ilgi (interest) before the verb?
In the phrase büyük ilgi gösterdi (showed great interest), the interest being shown is general and indefinite. If they showed a specific, previously mentioned interest (like "showed the interest"), we would need the accusative case, but here it stays in its bare dictionary form.
