Questions & Answers about Bakanlık, spor faaliyetlerini yaygınlaştırmak amacıyla okulları destekliyor.
We already know için means "in order to". Why use amacıyla here instead of yaygınlaştırmak için?
Amacıyla (with the aim of / for the purpose of) is much more formal and specific than için. You will frequently see it in news reports, official statements, and business contexts. It fits perfectly in this sentence because the subject is a Bakanlık (Ministry).
How exactly is the word amacıyla constructed grammatically?
It comes from the noun amaç (aim/purpose). It takes the 3rd person possessive suffix -ı because it links to the infinitive verb before it, acting like a noun compound (literally "the aim of popularizing"). Finally, the instrumental suffix -(y)la (with) is added, giving us "with the aim of". Notice that the ç in amaç softens to c when the vowel suffix is added.
The verb yaygınlaştırmak looks quite long. What are its building blocks?
It is built using the causative suffix, which you might remember from earlier B2 lessons. It starts with the adjective yaygın (widespread). Adding -laş turns it into the verb yaygınlaşmak (to become widespread). Then, the causative suffix -tır is added to make yaygınlaştırmak, meaning "to make widespread" or "to popularize".
