Questions & Answers about Yarınki program netleşti.
What does the suffix in yarınki do?
The suffix -ki turns a time word into an attributive adjective meaning “belonging to/related to that time.” So yarın (tomorrow) + -ki → yarınki = “tomorrow’s.” It binds “tomorrow” directly to the noun: yarınki program = “tomorrow’s schedule.”
Is yarınki program the same as yarının programı?
They mean the same thing (“tomorrow’s schedule”), but:
- yarınki program is shorter and very idiomatic, especially in speech.
- yarının programı is a genitive–possessive construction and can sound a bit more formal or explicit. Both are perfectly correct.
Why not just say yarın program without -ki?
Without -ki, yarın is read as a time adverb (“tomorrow”) modifying the verb, not the noun. Yarın program netleşti would be taken as “Tomorrow, the schedule became clear,” which clashes with the past tense -di and is odd. Use yarınki program or yarının programı (or yarın için program) to say “tomorrow’s schedule.”
Is yarınki one word or two?
One word. The -ki suffix attaches to the previous word: yarınki, , .
