Questions & Answers about Oyuncu kadrosu bugün açıklandı.
Because oyuncu kadrosu is a very common Turkish noun compound.
- oyuncu = actor / player
- kadro = staff, squad, lineup, cast
- oyuncu kadrosu = the cast / cast lineup
In Turkish, when one noun modifies another noun like this, the second noun often takes a 3rd person possessive ending. Here that ending is -su:
- kadro → kadrosu
So this does not necessarily mean his/her cast. In this structure, it is just part of how Turkish builds compounds.
A few similar examples:
- okul kapısı = the school door
- film müziği = film music / the music of the film
- oyuncu kadrosu = cast
So kadrosu here is best understood as part of the fixed expression oyuncu kadrosu.
Not necessarily. In Turkish, the first noun in a noun compound is often left in the singular, even if the meaning is plural in English.
So:
- oyuncu kadrosu literally looks like actor cast
- but naturally means cast or cast lineup
This is normal Turkish usage. English often uses singular nouns this way too:
- car door
- toothbrush
- student card
Turkish does the same kind of thing with noun compounds.
If you said oyuncular kadrosu, it would sound less natural in this context.
