On screen
-DIğIndAn dolayı
Module 3 · another “because”
How it movesBrief talking head, then the -DIğIndAn dolayı title card pops in as she names it.
A second way to say “because” — the formal one you'll hear in news reports and official writing. Same -DIğI base as -DIğI için, just more explanatory. Read top to bottom — that's the final video's order. Each beat gives what she says, the exact screen the viewer sees, and how it should move.
Says“Alright, in this video we'll learn -DIğIndAn dolayı.”
How it movesBrief talking head, then the -DIğIndAn dolayı title card pops in as she names it.
Says“-DIğIndAn dolayı also expresses cause and effect — it means something like ‘because of the fact that.’ It sounds more formal, and you'll hear it in news reports, formal written texts, and newspapers.”
How it movesWord card + “= because of the fact that” stamp. A small “formal” marker (vs. the everyday -DIğI için from last lesson) helps students file it correctly — this is the one for serious/written contexts.
Says“Let's break it down. We have the verb stem, the suffix -DIğI, a buffer letter -n- between it and the ablative suffix -dAn, so -DIğIndAn — and then the word dolayı.”
How it movesBuild the pieces left→right. The buffer -n- is the new idea (it sits between -DIğI and -dAn because the ablative starts with a consonant on a possessive) — worth isolating that little -n- for a beat so it doesn't look like a typo. End on the assembled geldiğinden dolayı.
Says“It follows the four-way vowel harmony rule — dığından, diğinden, duğundan, düğünden dolayı. And if the stem ends in one of the fıstıkçı şahap consonants, the d turns into t — tığından, tiğinden.”
| Last vowel | Suffix | after f s t k ç ş h p |
|---|---|---|
| a, ı → ı | -dığından dolayı | -tığından dolayı |
| e, i → i | -diğinden dolayı | -tiğinden dolayı |
| o, u → u | -duğundan dolayı | -tuğundan dolayı |
| ö, ü → ü | -düğünden dolayı | -tüğünden dolayı |
How it movesBuild the four rows (emphasise the changing vowel). On the d→t point, reveal/emphasise the right-hand column — the d flipping to t. Same rule they've seen before, so keep it brisk.
Says“The possessive changes with the subject. Let's look at gelmek — Ben geldiğimden dolayı, Sen geldiğinden dolayı, O geldiğinden dolayı, Biz geldiğimizden dolayı, Siz geldiğinizden dolayı, Onlar geldiklerinden dolayı.”
| Pronoun | gelmek | English |
|---|---|---|
| Ben | geldiğimden dolayı | because I came |
| Sen | geldiğinden dolayı | because you came |
| O | geldiğinden dolayı | because s/he came |
| Biz | geldiğimizden dolayı | because we came |
| Siz | geldiğinizden dolayı | because you (pl) came |
| Onlar | geldiklerinden dolayı | because they came |
How it movesBuild the table row by row as she says each person, emphasising the changing chunk (-imden, -inden, -imizden, -inizden, -lerinden). Keep dolayı steady on the right; the English column tracks the meaning.
Says“Let's look at some sentence examples.” — then she reads each one.
How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the -DIğIndAn dolayı reason as she reads it, English slides up under. A slightly more “headline / news” visual tone fits this formal structure if you want to lean into it.
Says“To make it negative, we bring the negative suffix -ma / -me. Let's walk through the full pattern across persons.”
| Pronoun | gelmek (negative) | English |
|---|---|---|
| Ben | gelmediğimden dolayı | because I didn't come |
| Sen | gelmediğinden dolayı | because you didn't come |
| O | gelmediğinden dolayı | because s/he didn't come |
| Biz | gelmediğimizden dolayı | because we didn't come |
| Siz | gelmediğinizden dolayı | because you (pl) didn't come |
| Onlar | gelmediklerinden dolayı | because they didn't come |
How it movesTake the positive geldiğimden dolayı and drop the -me- in before the participle — emphasise that inserted piece. Then build the table; keep -me- highlighted down every row.
Says(she reads each one)
How it movesOne at a time; sweep-emphasise the negative -mA-…-DIğIndAn dolayı phrase as she reads it, English slides up under.
Says“That's the end of the video. In the next one we'll learn -DIğIndAn. Görüşürüz!”
How it movesFade up the end card over her sign-off. The raw has some crew chatter after this — the clean sign-off is the “that's the end… görüşürüz” line; end there. A small teaser of the next structure (-DIğIndAn) hooks into the next lesson.
