Questions & Answers about Mutfakta sıcak su var.
Why is it mutfakta instead of mutfakda?
Why does the suffix end in a (-ta) rather than e (-te)?
This is a quick reminder of vowel harmony. The last vowel in mutfak is a. Because a is a back vowel, the suffix must also use a back vowel, so it becomes -ta instead of -te.
Where is the verb in this sentence?
Sentences showing that something exists use the word var (there is / there are). It functions like the verb here and, as is typical in Turkish, it goes at the very end of the sentence.
Why is mutfakta at the beginning of the sentence?
Turkish generally puts time and location words at the beginning of the sentence. So instead of saying 'There is hot water in the kitchen' like in English, Turkish word order is literally 'In the kitchen, hot water exists.'
