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?
