Questions & Answers about Mülakat yarın sabah dokuzda yapılacak.

What does the suffix -da in dokuzda indicate?

The -da here is the locative case suffix marking time instead of place. It means “at nine o’clock.” In Turkish you can use the locative case to express “at [TIME].”

Why is the locative suffix spelled -da and not -de or -ta?

1. Vowel harmony: dokuz has the back vowel o, so you use -da (not -de).
2. Consonant assimilation: if a word ends in a voiceless consonant (p, ç, t, k, f, h, s, ş), d becomes t. Since dokuz ends in the voiced z, it stays -da.

Why isn’t mülakat marked with any case ending?

In the passive voice, the original object becomes the grammatical subject and stays in the nominative case, which has a zero ending. Here mülakat (“interview”) is that passive subject, so it remains unmarked.

How do you break down yapılacak into its parts?

yapılacak =
• yap- (root meaning “to do” or “to hold”)
• -ıl- (passive voice suffix)
• -acak (future tense suffix)
Altogether it means “will be done/held.”
