Questions & Answers about Daha fakir kadın nerede?
Why is it daha fakir instead of a single word like 'poorer'?
In Turkish, you always use the word daha (more) to compare things. There is no ending like '-er' in English. You just put daha in front of the adjective, so 'poorer' is literally 'more poor'.
How do we know it means 'the poorer woman' and not 'a poorer woman'?
Turkish does not have a direct word for 'the'. Usually, if there is no bir (a/an) before the noun, it is understood as specific. If you wanted to say 'a poorer woman', you would say daha fakir bir kadın.
I remember nere means 'where'. Why does it have -de at the end here?
Nere means 'what place', but when asking where someone or something is located, you must add the locative ending -de (in/on/at). So nerede literally translates to 'at where'.
Why is the question word nerede at the very end of the sentence?
In Turkish, the main action or state of a sentence goes at the end. Even though the word 'is' is invisible here, the question word nerede acts as the core of the sentence, so it takes that final position.
