Questions & Answers about Sivil toplum adına bu sorunları dile getiriyoruz.
The lesson mentions Genitive + adına. Why is there no genitive suffix on toplum here?
While the structure is often Genitive + adına for specific people (like Ali'nin adına - on Ali's behalf), general concepts, institutions, or fixed phrases like sivil toplum (civil society) usually drop the genitive. It sounds more formal and abstract, similar to saying "in the name of civil society" rather than "in civil society's name."
What is the literal meaning of the idiom dile getiriyoruz?
It comes from the infinitive dile getirmek, which literally translates to "to bring to the tongue" (dil = tongue/language, -e = dative "to", getirmek = to bring). It is a very common and highly useful idiom meaning "to voice," "to express," or "to bring up a topic."
Could I just use için instead of adına in this sentence?
