Questions & Answers about Müdürlük olarak bu kararı duyurmak istiyoruz.
How is the verb duyurmak built from a simpler verb?
It is the causative form of duymak (to hear). By adding the causative suffix -ur, the literal meaning becomes "to make (someone) hear," which in practice means "to announce" or "to declare."
Why is karar (decision) written as kararı here?
It takes the accusative case suffix -ı because it is the specific direct object of the verb duyurmak. The demonstrative adjective bu (this) makes the object specific, which makes the accusative case mandatory.
What is the function of olarak in this sentence?
Derived from olmak (to be), olarak is used here to mean "as" or "in the capacity of." So, müdürlük olarak translates to "acting as the directorate" or "on behalf of the directorate."
How would we rewrite this sentence to say "We have officially announced this decision" using this lesson's -mIş bulunmak structure?
You would drop istiyoruz (we want) and apply the formal perfect structure directly to the main verb: Müdürlük olarak bu kararı duyurmuş bulunuyoruz. To make it sound even more bureaucratic and official, you could use duyurmuş bulunmaktayız.
