Questions & Answers about Doktorların koymakta olduğu teşhis, yeni komplikasyonlara sebep olacak.
How is the formal present continuous relative clause formed in koymakta olduğu?
It combines the verb koymak with the formal continuous marker -makta, followed by olduğu. The word olduğu is the helping verb olmak turned into an object participle (olduk) plus the third-person possessive ending -u to match the subject Doktorların.
Since the subject is the plural Doktorların, why does it say olduğu instead of the plural oldukları?
In Turkish relative clauses, a plural third-person subject like Doktorların can take either the singular possessive ending -u or the plural -ları on the participle. Both olduğu and oldukları are perfectly correct here, but the singular form is very commonly used for a smoother sentence flow.
Why do we use the verb koymak (to put) with teşhis (diagnosis) instead of a verb like yapmak (to do/make)?
This is a strict collocation in Turkish. Just as English pairs diagnosis with the verb make, Turkish uses the set phrase teşhis koymak, which literally translates to putting a diagnosis.
Why does yeni komplikasyonlara end with the dative -a suffix?
The compound verb sebep olmak (to cause) always requires the thing being caused to take the dative case. Because of this rule, the plural noun komplikasyonlar takes the dative direction suffix -a, becoming komplikasyonlara.
