Questions & Answers about Parktaki heykel çok beğenildi.
What does parktaki mean, and how is it built?
Parktaki means the one in the park or in the park when it modifies a noun.
It is built like this:
- park = park
- parkta = in the park
- parktaki = the one that is in the park / the one in the park
So:
- parktaki heykel = the statue in the park
The ending -ki turns the location phrase parkta into something that can describe a noun.
What exactly does -ki do here?
In this sentence, -ki makes a phrase act like an adjective.
- parkta = in the park
- parktaki = in-the-park / the one in the park
So instead of saying something like the statue which is in the park, Turkish can simply say parktaki heykel.
This is a very common pattern:
- masadaki kitap = the book on the table
- evdeki çocuk = the child in the house
- parktaki heykel = the statue in the park
Why is it parktaki and not parkdaki?
