Questions & Answers about Blokzincir sisteminin öngörülemez olduğu gerçeğini kabul etmeliyiz.
How does the phrase olduğu gerçeğini work to mean 'the fact that it is'?
This uses the structure you are learning in this lesson: a modifying clause plus an abstract noun. In English, we say 'the fact that [X is]'. In Turkish, you use the object participle -dIk on the verb (here, olmak becomes olduğu, meaning 'its being') followed by the abstract noun gerçek (fact) with a possessive suffix (gerçeği). Literally, it translates to the 'its-being-unpredictable fact'.
Why is sisteminin in the genitive case here?
It acts as the subject of the modifying clause. In Turkish, when a verb is turned into a noun or participle using -dIk (like olduğu), its subject usually takes the genitive case (the 'owner' of the action). So, 'the system is unpredictable' (sistem öngörülemez) becomes 'the system's being unpredictable' (sisteminin öngörülemez olduğu).
