Questions & Answers about Okulun yemekhane hizmetleri öğrenciler için büyük kolaylık sağlıyor.
What does okulun mean in this sentence, and why does it have the -un suffix?
Okul means “school.” The suffix -un is the genitive case marker, so okulun = “of the school” or “the school’s.”
Why is hizmetleri plural and why does it have the -i suffix?
Hizmet = “service.” We add -ler to make it plural (hizmetler = “services”), and -i is the third-person singular possessive suffix because these services belong to okulun. Thus hizmetleri = “its services.”
Why do we need both okulun (genitive) and the possessive suffix on hizmetleri?
Turkish uses a genitive-possessive construction:
- The possessor takes the genitive case: okulun (“of the school”).
- The possessed noun takes a possessive suffix: hizmetleri (“its services”).
Together they mean “the school’s services.”
