Questions & Answers about Sponsorlar tarafından desteklenen ihtişamlı gala sonunda başlıyor.
How does the word desteklenen get the meaning "supported"?
It is built from the verb desteklemek (to support). First, we add the passive suffix -n to make desteklenmek (to be supported). Then, we add the subject relative participle -en to turn it into the adjective desteklenen (which is supported).
Why do we use tarafından here to say "by the sponsors"?
In Turkish passive sentences, the agent (the one actually doing the action) is expressed using the word tarafından (by). While you might sometimes see the suffix -ca or -ce used for "by", tarafından is the standard and most natural way to introduce a specific agent like Sponsorlar.
Does sonunda mean "at its end" or "finally" in this context?
Why is the phrase Sponsorlar tarafından desteklenen placed at the very beginning of the sentence?
In Turkish, all adjectives and modifier clauses must come directly before the noun they describe. The entire phrase Sponsorlar tarafından desteklenen (supported by the sponsors) acts as one long adjective describing the noun phrase ihtişamlı gala (magnificent gala), so it must be placed right before it.
