Questions & Answers about Belirsizliğe karşın yatırımcılar piyasadan çekilmedi.
Why does belirsizlik change to belirsizliğe before karşın?
The postposition karşın (despite) requires the preceding noun to be in the dative case (-(y)e/-(y)a). When the dative suffix -e is added to belirsizlik (uncertainty), the final consonant k mutates to ğ because it is followed by a vowel, resulting in belirsizliğe.
Is there a difference between using karşın and rağmen here?
No, they are completely interchangeable and both require the dative case. belirsizliğe rağmen would mean exactly the same thing. karşın is just a slightly more formal or literary word, whereas rağmen is extremely common in everyday speech.
How is the word yatırımcılar built from its root?
It comes from the verb yatırmak (to deposit/invest). From there, we get the noun yatırım (investment). The suffix -cı indicates a person associated with that noun, making yatırımcı (investor), and -lar makes it plural.
çekmek means 'to pull', so why does the verb çekilmek mean 'to withdraw'?
You are seeing the suffix -il, which forms the passive of the verb, so structurally çekilmek means 'to be pulled'. However, it is frequently used in a reflexive sense meaning 'to pull oneself back'. When paired with an ablative noun like piyasadan (from the market), it translates perfectly to retreat, drop out, or withdraw.
