Questions & Answers about Otomatik ödeme talimatı dün iptal edilmiş.

Why does talimatı end in -ı? Is that the accusative?

Not here. In otomatik ödeme talimatı, the -ı is part of a Turkish noun compound, not the accusative ending.

This structure is very common in Turkish:

• ödeme = payment
• talimat = instruction / order
• ödeme talimatı = payment instruction

In these compounds, the second noun usually takes a 3rd person possessive suffix, even though English does not show this.

So:

• kredi kartı = credit card
• otobüs durağı = bus stop
• ödeme talimatı = payment instruction

If it were accusative as well, you would usually see an extra consonant and ending, for example:

• otomatik ödeme talimatını = the automatic payment instruction (as a definite object)

So in your sentence, talimatı is just the normal compound form.

What exactly is otomatik ödeme talimatı grammatically?

It is a noun phrase made up of:

• otomatik = automatic
• ödeme = payment
• talimatı = instruction/order (with the compound suffix)

So the whole phrase functions as a single unit: automatic payment instruction or, depending on context, automatic payment order / direct debit instruction.

Grammatically, otomatik is an adjective, and ödeme talimatı is a noun compound.
