From Lesson 473:Passive relative participles (-ılan / -enen)·Turkish

Questions & Answers about Gala için getirilen taşeronların akreditasyonu var mı?

Why do we use the subject relative suffix -en in getirilen if the subcontractors are the ones being brought (which feels like an object)?
Because the verb is in the passive voice! getirilen comes from getirilmek (to be brought). In a passive sentence, the thing receiving the action becomes the grammatical subject. Since the subcontractors are the subject of 'being brought', we use the subject relative suffix -en instead of the object relative -diği.
Can you break down the suffixes in getirilen?
It starts with the verb stem getir- (to bring). We add the passive suffix -il to get getiril- (to be brought). Finally, we add the subject relative participle -en to create getirilen (who/which are brought).
Why does taşeronlar take the genitive suffix -ın here?
This is a great reminder of the standard Turkish 'to have' construction. The sentence literally asks 'Is there the subcontractors' accreditation?' The owner (taşeronlar) takes the genitive -ın, and the owned thing (akreditasyon) takes the possessive -u, followed by var mı.
How does the word order work in the phrase Gala için getirilen taşeronların?
In Turkish, modifiers always come directly before the noun they describe. The words Gala için getirilen (brought for the gala) act together as one long adjective phrase describing taşeronların (the subcontractors).
