Questions & Answers about O, bir dâhi olarak kabul edilir.
The verb is kabul edilir. Why is it in the aorist tense instead of the continuous present (kabul ediliyor)?
The aorist tense (using the -ir suffix) is used here because it states a general, timeless fact or a widespread opinion. Using kabul ediliyor would sound more like an ongoing action happening right at this moment.
How is the passive voice formed in kabul edilir?
The active compound verb is kabul etmek (to accept). To make it passive, the t in etmek softens to a d, and we add the passive suffix -il, giving us kabul edilmek (to be accepted).
What is the literal meaning of olarak here?
Olarak is formed from the verb olmak (to be) and the adverbial suffix -(y)arak (by doing / while doing). Literally, bir dâhi olarak means "by being a genius," which is the standard way to say "as a genius" in Turkish.
Why is there a circumflex (a little hat) on the word dâhi?
The circumflex tells you to pronounce the "a" with a longer sound. It also helps distinguish dâhi (genius) from the similar-looking word dahi (also/even), which is pronounced with a short "a".
