Questions & Answers about Yeni formülleri öğrenmek için usanmaksızın yeni projeler hedefliyorlar.
How does usanmaksızın work here, and is it different from saying usanmadan?
usanmaksızın is formed by adding the formal suffix -maksızın (without ...ing) to the verb root usan- (to get fed up). It has the exact same meaning as usanmadan (without getting fed up), but -maksızın is more formal and literary. It acts as an adverb describing the state in which they are aiming for new projects.
Why does formülleri have the accusative case, while projeler does not?
The word formülleri (the formulas) takes the accusative suffix -i because it is a specific, definite object—they want to learn the new formulas. On the other hand, yeni projeler (new projects) does not have the accusative suffix because it is an indefinite object; they are aiming for new projects in general, not specific ones.
Why is the verb spelled hedefliyorlar instead of hedefleyorlar?
This is a good refresher on vowel narrowing. The verb root is hedefle- (from hedeflemek, to aim). When you attach the present continuous suffix -yor to a verb ending in -a or -e, that final vowel narrows to -ı, -i, -u, or -ü. Here, the -e narrows to -i, giving us hedefliyorlar.
What is the exact meaning of the root verb usanmak? Could I use bıkmak here instead?
usanmak means to become bored, tired, or fed up with something. It is very similar to bıkmak. You could absolutely say bıkmaksızın here. In fact, Turkish often pairs these two verbs together for emphasis, as in the common idiom bıkmadan usanmadan (relentlessly / without tiring or giving up).
