Questions & Answers about Bu uygulamanın vazgeçilmez olması onda bir bağımlılık yaratmış olmalı.
How is the word vazgeçilmez (indispensable) formed?
It comes from the verb vazgeçmek (to give up). First, the passive suffix -il is added to make vazgeçilmek (to be given up). Then, the negative aorist suffix -mez is attached to create an adjective meaning "that which cannot be given up", or "indispensable".
Why do we use the genitive uygulamanın and the possessive olması here?
This forms a verbal noun clause that acts as the subject of the sentence. Literally, it translates to "This application's (uygulamanın) being (olması) indispensable". Whenever you want to say "the fact that [subject] is [adjective]", you put the subject in the genitive case and add a possessive suffix to the verbal noun olma.
Why does the sentence use the locative case onda (in him) instead of the dative ona (to him) with the verb yaratmak (to create)?
In Turkish, when a feeling, state, or psychological effect (like an addiction) is created within someone, it is treated as existing inside that person. Therefore, you use the locative case (onda) rather than directing the action to them with the dative.
What is the difference between yaratmış olmalı and yaratmalı?
Yaratmalı simply means "must create" or "should create" (expressing present or future necessity). By adding the reported past suffix -mış before the auxiliary verb olmalı, the structure yaratmış olmalı shifts to a strong deduction about the past, meaning "must have created".
