Questions & Answers about Kurutma sıcak havada daha hızlı.

What does kurutma mean in this sentence?

Here kurutma is a deverbal noun (a gerund) meaning “drying” or “the process of drying.” It does not refer to a machine (“dryer”) here but to the action or process itself.

Why isn’t there an article like “the” or “a” before kurutma?

Turkish does not have indefinite or definite articles like a, an, or the. A bare noun can represent either a general or specific concept, and context tells you whether it’s “drying” in general or “the drying” you have in mind.

What is the suffix -da in havada, and why is it used?

The suffix -da is the locative case marker, equivalent to English in or on. So sıcak havada literally means “in hot/warm weather.”

Why is it havada and not havadA or havata?

Turkish suffixes follow vowel harmony. Hava ends in the vowel a, a back, unrounded vowel, so the locative suffix is -da (not -te or -ta). Consonants don’t change here because hava ends in a vowel.
