Questions & Answers about Deliller gerçeği açıkça gösterdiğine göre herkes onu fark edebilirdi.
The current lesson is about '-e karşın' (despite). How does 'gösterdiğine göre' compare structurally?
It uses the exact same grammatical mechanics! Both use a verbal noun ('-dIğI') + the dative case ('-(y)e') + a postposition. While '-dIğInA karşın' means 'despite the fact that...', '-dIğInA göre' uses the postposition göre (according to) to mean 'seeing as' or 'since'. Here, gösterdiğine breaks down as göster (show) + dik (fact) + i (its/that it) + n (buffer) + e (to).
Why does 'fark edebilirdi' mean 'could have noticed' rather than just 'could notice'?
This combines the ability suffix -ebil, the aorist (broad time) suffix -ir, and the past tense -di. Together, the aorist and past tense form the 'past aorist' (-ir-di), which expresses what someone 'would have' done. Adding the ability suffix creates -ebilirdi, expressing an unfulfilled past potential: what someone 'could have' or 'would have been able to' do.
What function does the '-ça' suffix serve in 'açıkça'?
Why does 'gerçek' (truth) become 'gerçeği' here?
Because 'the truth' is the specific thing being shown, it acts as the direct object of the sentence and must take the definite accusative suffix -i. When this vowel suffix is added, the final k in gerçek softens to a ğ due to consonant mutation.
