Questions & Answers about Yaptığımız her çıkarım, onun ifadeleriyle çelişiyor değil mi?
This sentence doesn't use the 'o ki' structure from the lesson. How would we add 'It seems that' using this lesson's target grammar?
You would place Görünen o ki at the very beginning of the sentence: Görünen o ki, yaptığımız her çıkarım... This structure pairs the substantivized participle görünen (that which is seen) with o ki (is that) to form a cleft phrase meaning 'It seems that' or 'What is apparent is that'.
Why is it yaptığımız her çıkarım instead of just yaptık çıkarım?
To say 'every deduction that we made', Turkish uses the object participle -dık (which softens to -dığ) attached to yapmak. You then add the possessive suffix -ımız to show who did the action. It literally translates to 'every deduction of our making'.
Why does the word ifade (statement) end with -leriyle here instead of an object marker like -lerini?
The verb çelişmek (to contradict / to conflict) requires the instrumental postposition ile (with). In Turkish, you don't contradict something; you contradict with something. Here, ile merges with ifadeleri (his statements) to become ifadeleriyle.
How is the noun çıkarım (deduction) formed?
