Questions & Answers about Yeminli tercüman bulmadığından dolayı süreç çok yavaş.
The current lesson is about future clauses using -AcAğI. Why does this sentence use -dığ- in bulmadığından instead?
The current lesson focuses on the future participle -AcAk / -AcAğI for things that will happen. Here, the action of not finding the translator is in the past. In Turkish grammar, both forms work the exact same way: they turn verbs into noun clauses that take possessive endings. You use -AcAğI for the future, but you must use -dık / -dığı for actions in the past or present.
Can you break down all the suffixes on bulmadığından?
Certainly! It breaks down as bul (find) + ma (negative) + dık (past/present participle, 'k' softens to 'ğ') + ın (his/her possessive suffix) + dan (ablative case suffix).
Why is the ablative suffix -dan (from) used at the end of bulmadığından?
It is required by the word dolayı. The postposition dolayı means "because of" or "due to," and it dictates that the word right before it must take the ablative case (-dan / -den). So, bulmadığından dolayı literally translates to "due to his not finding."
How do we know it was he who didn't find the translator if there is no pronoun like o or onun?
