Questions & Answers about Biz halkı bilinçlendirmek amacıyla projeler uyguladıkça vakalar azalıyor.
Why do we use the infinitive bilinçlendirmek instead of a verbal noun before amacıyla?
We use the infinitive -mAk because the subject of the purpose clause is the same as the subject of the main action. It is "we" (biz) who are both raising awareness and implementing the projects. If the subjects were different (for example, "with the aim of them raising awareness"), we would use a verbal noun with a possessive suffix, like bilinçlendirmeleri amacıyla.
How is the verb bilinçlendirmek formed?
It is built from the noun bilinç (consciousness or awareness). Adding -len makes it the verb bilinçlenmek (to become conscious or aware). Then, the causative suffix -dir is added to make bilinçlendirmek (to make someone aware / to raise awareness).
What exactly does the -dıkça suffix in uyguladıkça do here?
The suffix -dıkça (or -dikçe) means "as," "as long as," or "the more." Here, uyguladıkça shows a continuous correlation between the two actions: "As we implement projects, cases decrease" or "The more projects we implement, the more cases decrease."
Why is halk in the accusative case (halkı)?
Halkı is the specific direct object of the verb bilinçlendirmek (to raise the awareness of the public). Even though bilinçlendirmek is functioning as an infinitive inside a purpose clause, it still requires its specific object to take the accusative case.
