Questions & Answers about Asi öğrenci, okulun otoritesine başkaldırmamak şartıyla sınıfta kalabilir.
Why does this sentence use the infinitive başkaldırmamak before şartıyla instead of the verbal noun başkaldırmaması?
We use the infinitive -mAk because the subject performing the condition (not rebelling) is the exact same as the subject of the main verb (staying in class): the rebellious student. If the subjects were different (for example, "The teacher can stay on the condition that the student doesn't rebel"), we would have to use the verbal noun form başkaldırmaması.
How is the word şartıyla constructed in this grammar pattern?
It starts with the noun şart (condition). We add the 3rd person possessive suffix -ı to link it to the preceding action (the condition of not rebelling). Then we add the buffer letter -y- and the instrumental suffix -la (with / by means of). Literally, it acts as "with its condition".
Why does okulun otoritesine end with the dative case suffix -e?
The verb başkaldırmak (to rebel, literally "to raise head") requires the dative case to indicate the target of the rebellion. Just like in English you rebel against something, in Turkish you rebel to something. Otoritesi (its authority) takes the buffer -n- followed by the dative -e.
Does the phrase sınıfta kalmak carry a double meaning here?
