Questions & Answers about Bütçemiz yetersiz; dolayısıyla projeyi erteledik.
This lesson is about yüzünden (because of). Since this sentence shows a negative consequence, could we rewrite it using yüzünden?
Yes! Dolayısıyla (consequently) is a conjunction used to join two independent clauses. To use the postposition yüzünden, you would need to turn the first part into a noun phrase. You could rewrite it as: Bütçemizin yetersizliği yüzünden projeyi erteledik (Because of the insufficiency of our budget, we postponed the project).
How exactly does the word dolayısıyla translate to "consequently"?
It is built from dolayı (due to / indirect). When you add the compound marker -sı and the instrumental suffix -(y)la (with), you get dolayısıyla, which literally translates to something like "with its indirect consequence." In everyday Turkish, it is simply used to mean "consequently," "therefore," or "as a result."
How is the word yetersiz (insufficient) formed?
It is built on the word yeter (enough / sufficient), which is actually the aorist (broad tense) form of the verb yetmek (to be enough). By adding the suffix -siz (without / lacking), it becomes yetersiz (lacking enough, insufficient).
Why does proje have an -yi at the end in projeyi?
