Questions & Answers about Gazete, kapatılmak pahasına o cesur manşeti yayımlıyor.
Why do we use the dictionary form kapatılmak here instead of a personal form?
The word pahasına (at the cost of) directly follows the standard infinitive (-mak/-mek) when the subject taking the risk is the same as the subject of the main verb. Since the newspaper is both the one taking the risk of being closed and the one publishing the article, we just use the plain infinitive kapatılmak before pahasına.
How is the word kapatılmak formed?
It is the passive infinitive of kapatmak (to close). The -ıl suffix makes it passive (to be closed), and -mak makes it an infinitive. Together, kapatılmak means "to be closed down".
Why does yayımlıyor have an "ı" in the middle instead of an "a"?
The root verb is yayımlamak (to publish). When you add the present continuous suffix -yor, the preceding wide vowel (a or e) narrows. Here, the a at the end of yayımla- narrows to ı, giving us yayımlıyor.
Why does manşet take the accusative case suffix to become manşeti?
