Questions & Answers about Kat mülkiyeti arsa payını içeriyor.

Why does kat mülkiyeti end with -i? Is that a possessive ending?

Yes. In kat mülkiyeti, the -i is the third-person possessive ending, but here it is being used as part of a very common Turkish noun compound pattern.

Breakdown:

• kat = floor / storey / apartment unit
• mülkiyet = ownership
• kat mülkiyeti = literally something like floor/apartment ownership

In Turkish, compounds of the type X ownership, X door, X price, etc. are often formed like this:

• first noun: bare
• second noun: takes a possessive-type ending

So kat mülkiyeti does not necessarily mean his/her ownership of the floor. It is just the normal compound form.

What is the base form of arsa payını?

The base form is arsa payı.

Breakdown:

• arsa = land / plot
• payı = share/portion (in compound form)

So:

• arsa payı = land share / share of the land

Then the sentence uses arsa payını, which is:

• arsa payı
  • -(y/n)ı accusative

More exactly here, it becomes payı + nı, giving arsa payını.
