Questions & Answers about Yönetim, bu işlevin kullanıcıları kısıtladığını fark etti.
Why is işlev in the genitive case (işlevin)?
In Turkish, "that" clauses are formed using a possessive structure. The subject of the embedded clause (bu işlev) takes the genitive suffix -in, and the verb turns into a participle with a possessive suffix (kısıtladığı). Literally, the sentence says the management realized "this function's restricting."
Why are there two words with the accusative suffix right next to each other (kullanıcıları kısıtladığını)?
They belong to two different verbs! Kullanıcıları has the accusative suffix because it is the direct object of the embedded verb kısıtlamak (to restrict the users). Kısıtladığını, on the other hand, takes the final accusative suffix because the entire embedded clause is the direct object of the main verb fark etti (realized).
What exactly makes up the suffixes on kısıtladığını?
It breaks down like this: kısıtla (restrict) + -dık (past/present participle) + -ı (3rd person singular possessive, matching "the function's") + -n- (buffer letter) + -ı (accusative case, marking the object of "fark etti"). Notice that the k in -dık softens to ğ because it is followed by a vowel.
Why is fark etti written as two separate words, while compound verbs like hissetti are written as one?
Compound verbs formed with a noun plus etmek or olmak are only written as a single word if a sound change occurs in the noun, such as a dropped vowel or a doubled consonant. Hissetmek doubles the 's', but fark etmek undergoes no sound changes, so it remains separated.
