Questions & Answers about Protestocular, tasarı yüzünden meclise yürüyorlar.
Why use yüzünden here instead of için or -dAn dolayı?
Yüzünden specifically implies blame or a negative consequence. Since the protesters are upset about the bill, the bill is seen as the culprit causing the issue. İçin (for) or -dAn dolayı (due to) are much more neutral.
Why isn't it tasarının yüzünden with the genitive case?
When used with regular nouns, yüzünden follows the bare form of the noun (e.g., tasarı yüzünden, yağmur yüzünden). It only requires the genitive case when used with personal or demonstrative pronouns (like benim yüzümden or bunun yüzünden).
What exactly does tasarı mean, and where does it come from?
It comes from the verb tasarlamak (to plan or design). In a political context, a tasarı (or yasa tasarısı) is a draft law or bill that has been proposed to the meclis (parliament) but isn't yet an official law.
How could I apply the current lesson's -mAktA olan participle to this scenario?
You could use it to turn the main action into a descriptive phrase. 'The protesters who are walking to the parliament...' translates to Meclise yürümekte olan protestocular... This is a slightly more formal, written alternative to the standard participle Meclise yürüyen protestocular...
Is the -lar suffix on yürüyorlar mandatory since Protestocular is already plural?
No, it's optional. In Turkish, when the subject is human and explicitly plural, the verb can be either singular or plural. Protestocular ... yürüyor is also perfectly correct, though adding the plural suffix to the verb is common to emphasize the individuals acting.
