Questions & Answers about Projesini ilerletmek için duraksamaksızın araştırma yapıyordu.
How does the suffix in duraksamaksızın work, and is it any different from saying duraksamadan?
The suffix -maksızın (or -meksizin) attaches to the verb root to mean 'without doing [verb].' It means exactly the same thing as the more common -madan / -meden suffix. The difference is just tone: -maksızın is much more formal, written, or literary.
Why is the verb ilerletmek used here instead of just ilerlemek?
İlerlemek means 'to advance' or 'to progress' on its own, like a concept moving forward. Because he is advancing something else (his project), we have to use the causative suffix -t to make the verb transitive. İlerletmek means 'to cause to advance' or 'to further something.'
Why does projesini end with -sini?
This is a stack of two suffixes. The -si is the third-person possessive ('his project'). The -ni is the specific accusative case marker (buffer -n- plus -i), which is required because the project is the specific direct object receiving the action of ilerletmek (to advance).
Would durmaksızın mean the same thing as duraksamaksızın in this sentence?
