Questions & Answers about Başvurularınız olumlu sonuçlanmış bulunmaktadır.
Why use sonuçlanmış bulunmaktadır instead of just saying sonuçlandı or sonuçlanmıştır?
The structure -mış bulunmaktadır (Verb + -mış + bulunmak) is a highly formal way to express the perfect aspect. It emphasizes the current state resulting from a definitively completed action. You will almost exclusively see this in official correspondence, legal texts, or bureaucratic announcements where the tone needs to be highly objective and final.
Why is the auxiliary verb conjugated as bulunmaktadır with the -makta suffix?
The -makta suffix forms the formal present continuous tense, and the -dır suffix asserts the statement as an absolute, objective fact. While -ıyor is used in everyday speech, -maktadır is the standard for formal, written Turkish to express what is currently happening or existing. Combined with the perfect aspect, it formally asserts that the concluded state is a current, objective reality.
How does the verb sonuçlanmak get its meaning from the root sonuç?
Sonuç is a noun meaning 'result'. The suffix -lan (or -len) is added to nouns to create intransitive verbs, often meaning to acquire that noun's quality, characteristic, or to enter into that state. Here, it turns the noun into a verb meaning 'to be concluded' or 'to result'.
Why doesn't olumlu (positive) need an adverbial suffix to mean 'positively'?
In Turkish, most adjectives can act directly as adverbs of manner without needing an extra suffix to change them (unlike adding '-ly' in English). Because olumlu is placed right before the verb, it automatically functions as an adverb, telling us how the application process concluded.
