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?

The ending -dan / -den is the ablative case, often meaning from.

With randevu almak, Turkish commonly says you get/take an appointment from a person or institution:

• Doktordan randevu aldım = I got/made an appointment with the doctor
• Dişçi hanımdan randevu aldım = I got/made an appointment with the lady dentist

So the Turkish logic is a bit like:

• I obtained an appointment from her

Even though in natural English we usually say make an appointment with someone.
