Questions & Answers about Uygulamada onay butonunu bulamıyorum.

What does each part of the sentence do?

• Uygulamada: “in the app” (locative case: -da/-de/-ta/-te)
• onay butonunu: “the confirm/approval button” as a specific object (compound noun + definite accusative)
• bulamıyorum: “I can’t find (right now)” (present progressive with “cannot” sense)

The neutral order is Location + Object + Verb, with the verb at the end.

Why is it uygulama-da and not uygulama-de or uygulama-ta?

It’s the locative suffix -DA with vowel and consonant harmony:

• Last vowel of uygulama is back (a), so choose back form -da (not -de).
• The preceding sound is a vowel (voiced), so use d (not t). Hence: uygulamada.

Could uygulamada also mean “in practice (as opposed to theory)”?

Yes. Uygulamada can mean “in practice.” In this sentence, context (mentioning a button) makes it clear it’s “in the app,” but the word is ambiguous without context.

Why is it onay butonunu and not just onay butonu or butonu?
