Questions & Answers about Şehirde toplu taşıma ücretsiz.
What does şehirde mean and how is it formed?
şehirde means in the city. It’s formed by taking şehir (city) and adding the locative case suffix -de, which indicates “at” or “in.” Turkish case suffixes attach directly to the noun without a space.
How can I tell that -de in şehirde is the locative case and not the particle de/da meaning “too” or “also”?
The locative suffix -de is subject to vowel harmony and is written as part of the noun (no space, no apostrophe): şehirde. The particle de/da meaning “also” is written separately (e.g. ben de), and it does not change form for vowel harmony.
What is toplu taşıma literally, and why does it mean “public transportation”?
toplu means collective or mass, and taşıma is a noun formed from the verb taşımak (to carry) with the suffix -ma. Together, toplu taşıma literally means mass transport, which corresponds to “public transportation.”
Why is there no article like “the” or “a” before toplu taşıma?
