Questions & Answers about Grafikteki renkli sütunlar değerlerin dağılımını gösteriyor.
What is the breakdown of grafikteki into root and suffixes, and what does each part mean?
grafik = graph
-te = locative case (“in/on”)
-ki = relative suffix (“which is…”)
Together grafikteki means “the one(s) which is/are in the graph.”
What does the suffix -ki do in grafikteki?
The suffix -ki attaches to a noun (often with a case ending) to turn the whole phrase into an adjective or pronoun. Here it turns grafikte (“in the graph”) into “the one(s) in the graph.”
Why is değerlerin in the genitive case?
In Turkish, a possessor noun takes the genitive case before the possessed noun. değerler (“values”) becomes değerlerin (“of the values”) to show that dağılım (“distribution”) belongs to them.
Why does dağılımını include an -n- (instead of just dağılımı)?
Here two suffixes collide: the 3rd-person possessive suffix (its distribution) and the accusative suffix (definite object). They merge into -ını. So dağılımını = dağılım + [-ı(possessive)&-ı(accusative)] = “its/the distribution (as a definite object).”
What suffix creates renkli from renk, and why does the adjective come before sütunlar?
