Questions & Answers about Bu mantıksız kuralı öngörmediğimize göre durumu telafi etmek için planı uyarlıyoruz.
How exactly does öngörmediğimize göre break down to mean "since we did not foresee"?
The structure being used is Verb + -dIk + possessive + dative + göre. Here, it breaks down as öngör (foresee) + -me (negative) + -diğ (indicates a past/present fact) + -imiz (our) + -e (dative case) + göre. While göre usually means "according to", when attached to a -dIk clause via the dative case, it translates to "since", "seeing as", or "given that".
Could I just say öngörmediğimiz için (because we didn't foresee) instead?
Yes, but there is a subtle difference in nuance. öngörmediğimiz için states a direct cause-and-effect ("because we didn't foresee it"). öngörmediğimize göre emphasizes a logical deduction ("seeing as / given the fact that we didn't foresee it, it only makes sense that we do X"). At a B2 level, using göre here sounds more natural for making deductions based on a stated fact.
Why are there three different words with the accusative suffix here (kuralı, durumu, planı)?
Because the sentence contains three different verbs/verbals, and each has its own specific direct object. kuralı (the rule) is the object of öngörmediğimize (we didn't foresee). durumu (the situation) is the object of telafi etmek (to make up for). planı (the plan) is the object of the main verb uyarlıyoruz (we are adapting). Since they refer to specific, known things, they all take the accusative case.
