Questions & Answers about Pazartesi sabahı toplantı yapacağız, lütfen geç kalma.

Why is there no word like “on” before Pazartesi? In English we say “on Monday”.

Turkish normally does not use a separate preposition for days and many time expressions.

• Pazartesi by itself can mean “on Monday”.
• You can also say Pazartesi günü (literally “the day Monday”), which is very common and still means “on Monday”.
• You would not usually say Pazartesi’de for “on Monday”; that sounds wrong in this context.

So:

• Pazartesi sabahı toplantı yapacağız.
  = We’ll have a meeting on Monday morning.

The idea of “on” is built into the time expression, not a separate word.

What does the -ı at the end of sabahı mean in Pazartesi sabahı?

Here sabahı is basically “the morning (of Monday)”:

• sabah = morning
• sabahı can be understood as “its morning / the morning of it” (3rd person singular possessive feeling), but in time expressions it mostly just means “the morning” in a specific way.

So:

• Pazartesi sabahı ≈ “Monday’s morning” → naturally translated as “Monday morning”.

You will often see this pattern:

• Salı akşamı – Tuesday evening
• Çarşamba gecesi – Wednesday night
• Yarın sabah / yarın sabahı – tomorrow morning (with or without -ı)

Here, -ı is not a direct object marker in the usual sense; it’s part of a fixed time-expression pattern.

How does yapacağız mean “we will do / we will have”? Where is “will”?
