Questions & Answers about Araç güvertesi doldu.
Because araç güvertesi is a Turkish noun compound.
In this kind of structure, the second noun usually takes the 3rd person possessive suffix. So:
- güverte = deck
- güverte-si = its deck
So araç güvertesi literally looks something like vehicle its-deck, but in natural English it simply means vehicle deck.
This is a very common Turkish pattern:
- otobüs durağı = bus stop
- yatak odası = bedroom
- okul kapısı = school gate
So araç güvertesi is the normal way to say vehicle deck.
Yes, but not in exactly the same way as English possession.
It is an indefinite noun compound in Turkish. The first noun, araç, functions like a classifier or category word, and the second noun gets the possessive ending:
- araç = vehicle
- güvertesi = deck + compound suffix
This does not necessarily mean that one specific vehicle owns the deck. It just means the deck related to vehicles or the vehicle deck.
Compare:
- arabanın kapısı = the car’s door / the door of the car
- this is a regular possessive phrase with genitive
- araç kapısı would not usually mean the same thing in the same way
So here, araç güvertesi is best understood as a set phrase meaning vehicle deck.
