Questions & Answers about Şirketin logosu, ürün etiketlerinin üzerinde de şık bir simge olarak bulunuyor.

Why does Şirketin take -in while logosu takes -u in Şirketin logosu?
In Turkish possessive constructions, the possessor noun (Şirket) is marked with the genitive case suffix -in, and the possessed noun (logo) takes the appropriate possessive suffix—in this case third-person singular -u (with vowel harmony). So Şirket-in logo-su literally means “the company’s logo.”
What role does the suffix -in play in ürün etiketlerinin?
Here ürün etiketleri (“product labels”) is made into a genitive noun phrase by adding -nin (the plural stem is etiketler + -in). The genitive case (-in) signals that what follows (“üzerinde”) is a postposition governed by this noun phrase.
How is üzerinde formed and what does it mean?
Üzerinde is a locative postposition meaning “on top of.” Morphologically it comes from the bound root üzer (“top”) plus the third-person possessive suffix -i (its top) plus the locative suffix -nde. In usage you treat it like any other postposition: you put the preceding noun in the genitive, then üzerinde.
What does the standalone de in üzerinde de mean, and why is it written separately?
That de is the enclitic meaning “also/too.” It’s always written as a separate word and does not act like a case suffix. So üzerinde de means “also on top of.”
How can you tell the difference between the enclitic de (“also”) and the locative case suffix -de?

They look the same in pronunciation but differ in writing and function:

  • Enclitic de (“also”) is always a separate word and never takes vowel harmony (it’s always de).
  • Locative -de/-da attaches directly to the noun or postposition and follows vowel harmony. In our sentence the locative is inside üzerinde, not the word de you see after it.
What does şık bir simge olarak mean, and why use bir and olarak?

Word-for-word: şık = “stylish,” bir = “a/an” (indefinite article), simge = “symbol,” olarak = “as.” Together şık bir simge olarak means “as a stylish symbol.”

  • bir marks the noun as indefinite (“a symbol”),
  • olarak turns the noun phrase into an adverbial role, “in the capacity of …” or “as ….”
What nuance does bulunuyor carry, and why not just use var?
Bulunuyor is the present-continuous form of bulunmak, which literally means “to be found/to be located.” It’s often used to describe where something is physically or contextually located. Var also means “there is/are,” but bulunuyor gives a slightly more formal or descriptive sense of “is present/located as.”
Why is there a comma after Şirketin logosu, and why does the verb bulunuyor come at the end?
Turkish is typically subject-object-verb (SOV). Here Şirketin logosu is fronted as the topic, separated by a comma for clarity (though the comma is optional). Everything else follows, and the verb bulunuyor naturally appears at the end, completing the SOV structure.
