Questions & Answers about Kıdem bilgisi sözleşmede yazıyor.
What does kıdem mean here?
In this sentence, kıdem usually means seniority, length of service, or tenure in a work context.
So kıdem bilgisi is information related to a person's seniority at work, not general personal background information.
Why is it kıdem bilgisi and not kıdem bilgi?
Because kıdem bilgisi is a very common Turkish structure called an indefinite noun compound.
Pattern:
- Noun + noun-(s)I
So here:
- kıdem = seniority
- bilgisi = its information / information of it
But in English, you usually translate the whole thing more naturally as:
- seniority information
- information about seniority
Important point: The -si on bilgisi does not necessarily mean real possession here. It is just the normal marker used in this noun-compound pattern.
Compare:
- öğrenci kartı = student card
- telefon numarası = phone number
- kimlik bilgisi = identity information
Why is there no ending on kıdem? Why not kıdemin bilgisi?
