Questions & Answers about Parkta her sabah egzersiz grubu düzenleniyor.

What does düzenleniyor mean and how is it formed?

düzenleniyor is the third-person singular present continuous passive form of düzenlemek (“to organize/arrange”). It breaks down as:

  • düzenle (root “to organize”)
    • -n (passive voice marker)
    • -iyor (present continuous tense)
      So it literally means “is being organized,” with no emphasis on who does the organizing.
Why is it düzenleniyor and not düzenliyor?
  • düzenliyor = active present continuous (“(he/she/they) are organizing”)
  • düzenleniyor = passive present continuous (“is being organized”)
    The -n infix is the passive marker. You choose passive when the focus is on the event happening, not on the doer.
Why does park take -ta (as in parkta) instead of -da?
Turkish locative case (English “in/at/on”) has two variants: -da or -ta. You use -ta after voiceless consonants (p, ç, t, k, f, h, s, ş). Since park ends in k (voiceless), you attach the voiceless locative suffix -ta, giving parkta (“in the park”).
Should there be an apostrophe in parkta?
No. Apostrophes in Turkish are reserved for adding suffixes to proper nouns (names, brands, etc.) that haven’t been fully integrated. park is a common noun, so you write parkta without an apostrophe.
Why is there no case suffix on sabah in her sabah?
When you use her (“every”), the noun that follows becomes a fixed expression and doesn’t take any case endings. her sabah simply means “every morning,” so you don’t add accusative, dative, locative, etc.
What is the structure of egzersiz grubu?

It’s a noun-noun compound meaning “exercise group.” In Turkish compounds:

  • The modifier noun (egzersiz) comes first and stays uninflected.
  • The head noun (grup) comes second and carries any necessary suffixes (here -u).
    Together, egzersiz grubu = “exercise group.”
Why does grubu have -u at the end?
In the underlying active sentence, the group is a definite direct object (“they organize the exercise group”), so it takes the accusative suffix -u. When that active sentence is turned into passive (düzenleniyor), the accusative marker remains on grubu.
How would you say this sentence in the active voice?

You could say:
Parkta her sabah bir egzersiz grubu düzenliyorlar.

  • bir marks “an/one” (indefinite).
  • düzenliyorlar = active present continuous “they organize.”
  • The subject onlar (“they”) is omitted because the -lar ending already shows plural third person.
