Questions & Answers about Otel lobisinin ambiyansı, misafirleri sıcak bir karşılama hissiyle kuşatıyor.

In ambiyansı, why is there an -ı at the end?

ambiyans is the noun “ambiance.” In the A’nın B’si possession pattern (i.e. “B of A”), the possessed noun (B) takes a possessive suffix -ı/-i/-u/-ü. So:
• ambiyans (root) + -ı → ambiyansı = “the ambiance (of …).”
The particular vowel -ı follows vowel-harmony rules (after a).

What about lobisinin? How is that formed?

That’s the possessor in the same pattern. You start with:
• lobi (“lobby”)
• + -si (3rd-person singular possessive) → lobisi (“its lobby”)
• + -nin (genitive) → lobisinin (“of the lobby”)
So lobisinin ambiyansı = “the ambiance of the lobby.”

Why isn’t otel inflected as otelin?

Here otel lobisi is treated as a fixed compound “hotel lobby,” so only the last element takes inflections. We then mark the whole compound with genitive on lobisi, giving otel lobisinin. You could also say otelin lobisi (“the hotel’s lobby”), but when otel lobisi functions as one unit, otel stays in the bare form.
