Questions & Answers about Yeni bir prensip belirlemek şartıyla müdürün otoritesini kabul ediyoruz.
Why do we use the plain infinitive belirlemek before şartıyla instead of a possessive verbal noun like belirlememiz?
We use the plain infinitive (-mAk) because the subject doing the conditional action (establishing) is the same as the subject of the main verb (we accept). If we were saying "on the condition that he establishes a new principle," we would need the verbal noun with a possessive suffix: belirlemesi şartıyla.
Can you break down the suffixes on the word otoritesini?
The root is the loanword otorite (authority). The -si is the 3rd-person possessive suffix, linking it to müdürün (the manager's). The -n- is a buffer consonant used after a possessive suffix, and the final -i is the accusative case marker because the whole phrase is the direct object of kabul ediyoruz.
What exactly is the -ıyla ending in şartıyla?
It is a combination of two suffixes attached to şart (condition). The -ı is a 3rd-person possessive suffix, linking the condition to the preceding action (literally "the condition of establishing"). The -(y)la is the instrumental case (with/by). So, it literally translates to "with its condition."
Could I use koşuluyla instead of şartıyla in this sentence?
