Questions & Answers about Cadde, müdürlük tarafından geçici olarak kapatılmış bulunmaktadır.
Why use kapatılmış bulunmaktadır instead of simply kapatılmıştır or kapatıldı?
This uses the formal perfect structure -mIş bulunmak. Adding the auxiliary verb bulunmak after the -mIş suffix emphasizes the current state resulting from a past action. It translates roughly to 'is in a state of having been closed.' It is highly formal and bureaucratic, making it perfect for official announcements.
Why does the auxiliary verb take the -maktadır ending instead of just -uyor?
The -mAktA suffix is the formal present continuous tense, and -dIr adds an official, declarative tone. Since the -mIş bulunmak structure is already meant for formal announcements, pairing it with -maktadır maximizes the objective, bureaucratic tone. You will see this combination everywhere in government notices and official signs.
How does geçici olarak translate to 'temporarily'?
Could I say müdürlükçe instead of müdürlük tarafından for 'by the directorate'?
Yes, you can. Both are correct ways to express the agent in a passive sentence. The suffix -cE (which creates müdürlükçe) is very common when the agent doing the action is an institution or official body. tarafından means the exact same thing here but is more versatile, as it can be used with any noun, including specific person, or pronoun.
