Questions & Answers about Güvenlik kameraları bizi korumakla beraber rahatsız da ediyor.
How is korumakla beraber formed, and can I use birlikte instead?
This structure is formed by taking the full infinitive verb korumak (to protect), adding the "with" suffix -(y)la/-(y)le, and following it with beraber (together/along). It translates to "along with protecting" or "while protecting". You can absolutely swap beraber for birlikte (korumakla birlikte) with no change in meaning.
Does -makla beraber usually imply a contrast like it does here?
Very often, yes. While strictly meaning "along with [doing something]," it is frequently used to introduce a contrasting or balancing idea, similar to "while" or "even though" in English. Here, it contrasts a positive aspect (protecting) with a negative one (disturbing).
Why is the particle da placed right in the middle of rahatsız ediyor?
Rahatsız etmek (to disturb / to make uncomfortable) is a compound verb made of an adjective and a helper verb. When you want to add da / de (also / too) to emphasize the action itself, it is very common to split the compound verb and place the particle between the two words: rahatsız da ediyor (it also disturbs).
Does the pronoun bizi (us) apply to both verbs in this sentence?
Yes. Both korumak (to protect) and rahatsız etmek (to disturb) take a direct object in the accusative case. Since both actions are happening to "us," bizi (we + accusative -i) only needs to be stated once at the beginning, serving as the object for both halves of the sentence.
