Questions & Answers about Bugün kasada kartla ödeme yapacağım.
Why does kasada have -da at the end?
The ending -da / -de is the locative case, which means in / at / on depending on context.
- kasa = cash register / checkout / till
- kasada = at the cash register or at checkout
In this sentence, kasada tells you where the payment will happen.
The form is -da here because of vowel harmony:
- after a back vowel like a, Turkish uses -da
- after a front vowel like e, it would usually be -de
So:
- masa → masada = on the table
- ev → evde = at home
Why is it kartla and not kart ile?
Both are correct.
- kart ile = with a card / by card
- kartla = with a card / by card
The shorter form -la / -le is a very common spoken and written contraction of ile.
So:
- kart ile ödeme yapacağım
- kartla ödeme yapacağım
both mean the same thing.
This ending -la / -le works like with / by means of:
- arabayla = by car / with the car
- kalemle = with a pen
- nakitle = in cash
Why does Turkish say ödeme yapmak instead of just using a verb like ödemek?
