Questions & Answers about Fuarın ziyaretçi sayısı arz ve talep analizi için önemli bir göstergedir.

Why is fuarın used instead of fuarda or fuara?

fuarın is the genitive form of fuar (fair), meaning “of the fair.” It shows possession (“the fair’s visitor number”).

  • fuarda would mean “at the fair” (locative case).
  • fuara would mean “to the fair” (dative case).
    Since we want “of the fair,” we use the genitive suffix -ın. Because fuar is a common noun, the suffix attaches directly (no apostrophe).
Why does sayı become sayısı?
sayısı is sayı (number) plus the 3rd-person singular possessive suffix -sı, indicating “its number.” So ziyaretçi sayısı literally means “visitors’ number,” i.e. “the number of visitors.” The final ı follows vowel-harmony rules.
In arz ve talep analizi, why does analiz take -i (analizi) before için?

To express “the analysis of supply and demand,” Turkish forms a possessive compound:

  • arz ve talep = “supply and demand”
  • analiz
    • -i = “its analysis”
      So arz ve talep analizi = “supply and demand’s analysis.” Then için (“for”) attaches to that phrase.
What is the function of için?
için is a postposition meaning “for.” It follows a noun or noun phrase without adding any extra case suffix, so arz ve talep analizi için means “for supply and demand analysis.”
Why is there a bir before gösterge, and what does göstergedir mean?
bir is the indefinite article “an/a.” gösterge means “indicator.” Adding the copula suffix -dir gives göstergedir, literally “is an indicator.” Together önemli bir göstergedir = “is an important indicator.”
What is the role of the -dir suffix on göstergedir, and how do I choose its vowel?
The suffix -dir is the formal copula “is.” It has four vowel-harmony forms: -dır/dir/dur/dür. You pick the form based on the last vowel of the word it attaches to: e (a front unrounded vowel) → -dir.
Why is ziyaretçi singular and not plural ziyaretçiler?
In measurement expressions like “visitor count,” Turkish often uses the singular noun as a modifier. ziyaretçi sayısı (“visitor number”) is standard. Using ziyaretçiler sayısı would sound redundant.
How is the word order organized in this sentence?

Turkish typically puts modifiers before the main verb/predicate. Here the structure is:
1) Fuarın (possessor)
2) ziyaretçi sayısı (possessed noun phrase)
3) arz ve talep analizi için (purpose phrase)
4) önemli bir göstergedir (predicate)
Literally: “Fair-GEN visitor number supply-and-demand analysis-for important an indicator-COP.”
