Questions & Answers about Pazara gidince taze çilek almadan edemiyorum.
Why is it pazara and not just pazar?
Because gitmek (to go) normally takes the dative case for the destination.
- pazar = market / bazaar
- pazara = to the market
So:
- Pazara gitmek = to go to the market
- Compare:
- eve gitmek = to go home
- okula gitmek = to go to school
The -a / -e ending here shows movement toward a place.
How do I know pazar means market here, not Sunday?
Because pazar can mean either market or Sunday, and context tells you which one is meant.
Here, taze çilek almadan edemiyorum clearly suggests shopping, so pazar means market.
A few clues:
- pazara gitmek is a very common phrase meaning to go to the market
- If someone meant Sunday, they would often say something like:
- Pazar günü = on Sunday
- Pazarları = on Sundays
So in this sentence, pazara is naturally understood as to the market.
