Questions & Answers about Şirket yeni ürünü ilan etti.
Why does ürün take the -ü suffix here to become ürünü?
The -ü is the definite accusative case marker. Because the sentence refers to a specific product (the new product), it requires the accusative case as the direct object of the verb. If it were a non-specific product (a new product), the sentence would be Şirket yeni bir ürün ilan etti.
How could I apply this lesson's diye structure to give the new product a name in this sentence?
You can use diye bir to label it. For example, to say that the company announced a new product called Nexus, you would say Şirket Nexus diye yeni bir ürün ilan etti. Note that we drop the accusative -ü on ürün here because we are introducing a non-specific new product.
İlan etti comes from ilan etmek. Is there a single Turkish verb for to announce?
Yes, you will also frequently see duyurmak (to announce or to make heard). Saying Şirket yeni ürünü duyurdu means exactly the same thing. İlan etmek is simply a common compound verb using the loanword ilan (announcement) and the helper verb etmek.
