Questions & Answers about Uçuşlar aksadığına göre, rötar kaçınılmazdı.
How exactly does aksadığına göre mean "since the flights were disrupted"?
This structure expresses a deductive inference, meaning "seeing as..." or "since...". It is built with the verb root aksa- (to falter/be disrupted) + the participle suffix -dık + the 3rd person possessive -ı (mutating the 'k' to 'ğ') + the buffer -n- + the dative -a, followed by göre. Literally, it translates to "according to the fact that it was disrupted."
Why doesn't aksadığına have a plural possessive suffix (-ları) to match the plural subject uçuşlar?
Because uçuşlar (flights) is a non-human plural subject. In Turkish, non-human plural subjects typically take singular verb and participle endings. Therefore, the singular possessive in aksadığına is much more natural here than aksadıklarına.
Can you break down the suffixes in kaçınılmazdı?
It is built from the verb root kaçın- (to avoid/abstain). Adding the negative aorist suffix -maz turns it into the adjective kaçınılmaz (unavoidable / inevitable). Finally, the past tense copula -dı is attached, making it "was inevitable."
Could I use gecikme instead of rötar here for "delay"?
Yes, gecikme is the general Turkish word for any "delay" and would be perfectly correct. However, rötar (a French loanword) is the specific, highly common term used for public transport delays, especially for flights and trains.
