Questions & Answers about Çevre dostu ambalaj kullanmak önemli.
What does çevre dostu mean?
Çevre dostu literally means eco-friendly or environment-friendly. It combines çevre (environment) and dost (friend) with the possessive suffix -u, giving environment’s friend.
What is the function of the -u in dostu?
The suffix -u is the third-person singular possessive. It turns dost (friend) into dostu (its friend), so çevre dostu reads as friend of the environment.
Do I need a hyphen in çevre dostu?
No. In Turkish, noun-to-noun compounds like çevre dostu are normally written as two separate words. Hyphens are mainly used for certain prefixes or foreign insertions.
Why is there no article “the” or “a” before ambalaj?
Turkish does not have articles. Nouns are indefinite by default, and definiteness is shown by context or case endings (for example, the accusative -ı).
Why isn’t ambalaj marked with the accusative suffix -ı here?
