Questions & Answers about Ebeveynler, haber vermek şartıyla ergen çocuklarının dışarı çıkmasına izin verir.
Why do we use the infinitive haber vermek before şartıyla instead of a verbal noun like haber vermeleri?
Using the dictionary infinitive (-mAk) before şartıyla expresses a general condition: "on the condition of giving notice." Even though it is the teens who must give notice, you do not always need a personal possessive suffix if the logical doer is obvious. If you wanted to explicitly say "on the condition that they give notice," you could use the verbal noun instead: haber vermeleri şartıyla. Both are perfectly natural here.
Why does çıkmasına end with the dative case -a?
The verb izin vermek (to give permission / to let) dictates this. It requires the dative case for the specific action or thing being permitted. Because the parents are allowing the act of "going out," the verbal noun phrase must take the dative: çıkmasına (to their going out).
Why is there a genitive suffix on çocuklarının?
It serves as the subject of the verbal noun çıkması (going out). In Turkish, when an entire clause is turned into a noun phrase, the "doer" of the action takes the genitive case. Literally, this translates as "their teenage children's going out."
