malsarahsu, i looked for " konuşacak" on google: i found that on "reverso" (my favorite): https://context.reverso.net/translation/english-turkish/to+talk+about. They give a lot of examples. In most of them "hakkında" is not employed. Enjoy it!
When konuşmak takes the accusative, it means "to talk about" the thing. So "bu olayı" in the accusative gives you "about this event" and hakkında is not needed.
It should be 'Herkes gelecekte bu olay hakkında konuşacak.' Accusative is unnecessary.
İ wrote "Herkes gelecekte bu olayı hakkında konuşacak" and is was correct.
Gelecekte herkes bu olaydan konuşacak.
I wonder why is not accepted?
Your verb is konuşacak, so the most neutral SOV word order would have that at the end of your sentence. Word order can be flexible, but the situations where you would put something after the verb are very rare.
Neden doğru cevabi budur# bu olayı ... # Bence #olay# yeterdir ve olay(ı) yanlış.
i wrote 'herkes gelecekte bu olay hakkında konuşacak' marked correct, but i cannot for the life of me think why event does not take accusative when the sentence is formed this way? thank you in advance
bu olay would need the accusative if it was the direct object of the verb, but by adding hakkında, you have made it part of a prepositional phrase instead, and there is no need for the accusative.
I wrote everything right except I wrote "her Kişi" instead of "herkes"? What's the difference between the two?
Even if it could be used "to tell," it still wouldn't work in this case, since they wouldn't be telling of or explaining the event in the future, but just talking about it.
I think "bu olayın hakkında" is your issue. Hakkında takes the genitive for pronouns, but not for nouns.
