Questions & Answers about Hiçbir resmî kurum telefonla özel bilgilerinizi doğrulamaz.
This lesson is about meğer. Since it is not in this sentence, how would we add it to say "It turns out no official institution verifies..."?
You would put it at the beginning: Meğer hiçbir resmî kurum... You use meğer (or meğerse) when expressing surprise about a fact you just discovered. If someone almost got scammed and then learned this rule, they might say: Meğer hiçbir resmî kurum telefonla özel bilgilerinizi doğrulamazmış. Notice we also added the reporting suffix -mış to the verb, which is very common when discovering something new with meğer!
Why does the verb doğrulamaz have a negative ending when the sentence already starts with hiçbir (none/not any)?
Why use the aorist negative doğrulamaz instead of the present continuous doğrulamıyor?
The aorist tense (the broad tense) is used for general facts, habits, and timeless rules. Because it is a permanent, official policy that institutions do not do this, doğrulamaz is much more accurate here than doğrulamıyor, which would imply they just aren't doing it right now at this moment.
