Questions & Answers about Yan haklar da maaş kadar önemli.

What does yan haklar mean?

Yan haklar means benefits, fringe benefits, or perks from a job, such as health insurance, meal vouchers, transportation support, bonuses, and similar extras.

• yan = side, additional
• haklar = rights / entitlements / benefits

So together, yan haklar refers to the extra benefits that come with a salary.

What does da mean here?

Here, da means also or too.

So Yan haklar da... suggests something like:

• Benefits, too, are...
• Benefits are also...

In this sentence, it adds the idea that benefits should be considered alongside salary.

A very important spelling point:

• This da is a separate word.
• It is not the locative suffix -da/-de meaning in/on/at.

So you write:

• Yan haklar da maaş kadar önemli.

Not:

• Yan haklarda maaş kadar önemli.

Because yan haklarda would mean something like in the benefits.

Why is there no word for is/are in the sentence?
