Merheba arkadaşlar,

 

"bu konuda hiçbir ittifakımızın olmadığını duyuruyoruz"
in this sentence why there is "-ın" at the end of the sentence, can´t we say "ittifakımız olmadığını"?
like this sentence there is no "-in" at the end of "sevgilim"

 

"sevgilim olduğunu aileme nasıl söylerim"

My not very well educated guess is that the -ın here means belonging to (our alliance; your being of our alliance) whereas sevgilim means you´re just being the sevgili itself.

But why is the k of ittifak not changing into ğ?

Yes:

ittifakımızın olmadığın = that you aren´t of our alliance

ittifakımız olmadığın = that you aren´t our alliance

There are many exceptions to possession when it coumes to words adopted from other languages. You´ll see ittifak mentioned here:

Merheba arkadaşlar,

"sevgilim olduğunu aileme nasıl söylerim"

 

Because in embedded clauses you add the genitive ending to the subject.

 

Bu konuda hiç bir ittifakımızın olmadığını duyuruyoruz.

Ne duyuruyoruz? ‘Hiç bir ittifakımız yok.’

Think of var/yok as adjectives meaning ‘present/absent’ which they actually are.

 

Sevgilim olduğunu aileme nasıl söylerim?

Ne söylerim? ‘Sen sevgilimsin.’ OR ‘O sevgilim.’ (This is ambiguous as you know.)

If you want to see the genitive ending here it must be added to the grammatical subject (which has been dropped as it often happens).

 

> Senin/Onun sevgilim olduğunu aileme nasıl söylerim?

Thank you very much

I have another question, instead of this sentence "işsiz olan ahmet, yeni bir iş arıyor"

can we use this "ahmet´in işsiz olduğunu, yeni bir iş arıyor"

This is great explanation, although the second sentence is even more ambiguous. It can also mean "How will I tell them that I have a girlfriend?"

 

I would say the genitive ending is optional in these sentences. Adding or omitting it doesn´t make any difference in the meaning.

It depends on the sentence. Paramin olduğunu is not wrong, it could mean "that is of my money" while param olduğunu could mean "that is my money". Ofcourse in a sentence it would translate differently. I found this sentence:

Ne kadar kalacağımı, neden geldiğimi, ne kadar yanımda paramın olduğunu, gideceğim adresi sordu.

He asked how long I will stay, why I came, how much (of my) money I have with me, and the adress of where I´m going.
