Questions & Answers about Çalışmalar geciktiğinden dolayı konser ertelenmiş bulunmaktadır.
What is the difference between saying ertelenmiştir and ertelenmiş bulunmaktadır?
The structure verb + -miş bulunmak creates a highly formal perfect aspect. While ertelenmiştir (has been postponed) is already formal, using bulunmak adds extra weight, emphasizing that the postponement is now an official, established state of affairs. You will mostly hear this in official announcements or formal writing.
Why does the auxiliary verb use the -maktadır ending instead of just -uyor?
The -makta suffix is the formal equivalent of the present continuous -yor, and -dır is a formal asserting suffix. Since the -miş bulunmak structure is already very formal, using bulunmaktadır keeps the tone of the sentence consistently official, like a public service announcement.
Can you break down how geciktiğinden dolayı means 'because the works were delayed'?
It combines the verb gecikmek (to be delayed) with the fact-participle -dik. It takes the 3rd person possessive -i (referring to the works) and the ablative case -nden. The postposition dolayı (due to) always requires this ablative case, creating the structure -diğinden dolayı (due to the fact that...).
How is the passive voice formed in ertelenmiş?
The root verb is ertelemek (to postpone). Since it ends in a vowel, the passive suffix is just -n, creating ertelenmek (to be postponed). The -miş suffix then turns it into the perfect aspect to connect with bulunmaktadır.
