Questions & Answers about Satıcılar pazara sabah erken varır.
I thought var means "there is". Why is it used as an action here?
Var is also the root of the verb varmak, which means "to arrive" or "to reach". You can tell it is used as a verb in this sentence because it takes the aorist (simple present) tense ending -ır, making it varır.
Why is it pazara (to the market) instead of pazarda (at the market)?
In English, you arrive "at" a place, but in Turkish, the verb varmak focuses on the movement toward a destination. Because of this, the destination must take the dative case ending -a or -e (meaning "to").
Why doesn't sabah have a suffix to mean "in the" morning?
General time words like sabah (morning) and akşam (evening) can be used directly as time adverbs without any extra location endings. You just say sabah erken to mean "early in the morning".
How is the word satıcılar built?
It comes from the verb root sat- (to sell). The suffix -ıcı is added to turn a verb into the person who does that action, creating satıcı (seller). Finally, the -lar suffix makes it plural.
