Questions & Answers about Konum uygun.
Why is there no verb like is in the sentence Konum uygun.?
In Turkish, the linking verb (equivalent to is) is typically omitted in simple present-tense sentences. The relationship between konum and uygun is understood without an explicit verb.
What does the word konum mean, and does it imply possession?

How does the adjective uygun function in this sentence, and does it change form to match the noun?
Uygun is used as a predicate adjective meaning suitable or appropriate. In Turkish, adjectives do not change form to agree with their nouns, so uygun remains the same regardless of the subject.
What is the typical word order in Turkish for sentences like Konum uygun., compared to English?
Turkish often follows a subject–predicate structure without a linking verb. While English requires "My location is suitable," Turkish conveys the same meaning simply as Konum uygun. by placing the noun first and the adjective after it.
Is it necessary to include any additional words to show possession, or does the form konum already indicate that?
The form konum already includes possession through the suffix -um. Although you could add a possessive pronoun like benim for extra clarity, it is not required because the suffix sufficiently indicates that it is my location.
