Learn Turkish: Kadın fırından ekmek alıyor. - The woman is buying bread from the bakery.

The suffix -dan is the ablative case, which means from or out of. Because the last vowel in fırın (bakery) is the back vowel ı, we use -dan instead of -den to follow vowel harmony rules. So fırından means from the bakery.

Why is there no suffix on ekmek if it is the object of the sentence?

In Turkish, we only add a specific object suffix (the accusative case) if we are talking about a specific thing, like the bread. Since the woman is just buying bread in general, ekmek stays in its plain dictionary form.

I learned that almak means to take. Why does it translate to buying here?

The verb almak is very versatile. It literally means to take or to get, but it is also the standard word used for to buy in Turkish. The context of getting bread from a bakery tells us it means buying in this sentence.

Does fırın just mean bakery?

The word fırın can mean both bakery and oven. In this sentence, getting bread from the fırın clearly points to a bakery, but if you were baking a cake at home, fırın would mean the oven in your kitchen.
