Questions & Answers about Dişçi hanımdan yarına randevu aldım; ne olursa olsun gideceğim.
What does dişçi hanım mean exactly?
It means the lady dentist or the female dentist, said politely.
In Turkish, a profession word plus hanım is a common respectful way to refer to a woman:
- öğretmen hanım = the lady teacher
- doktor hanım = the lady doctor
- dişçi hanım = the lady dentist
So here hanım is not part of her name. It is a polite title.
Does dişçi hanım mean the dentist herself, or could it mean the dentist’s wife?
Here it means the dentist herself.
In this structure, profession + hanım refers to a woman who has that profession. So dişçi hanım is a female dentist.
If Turkish wanted to say the dentist’s wife, it would usually need a different structure, not this one.
Why is there -dan on hanımdan?
