Questions & Answers about Kütüphane çarşamba açık.
Why is there no word for "on" before çarşamba?
In English, we say "on Wednesday," but in Turkish, you can just use the name of the day by itself to say something happens on that day. You don't need to add a location ending like -da or -de.
Shouldn't çarşamba be capitalized?
In Turkish, days of the week are written with lowercase letters unless they are at the very beginning of a sentence or part of an exact date that includes a number.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
Turkish doesn't use a separate word for "is" in this type of sentence. When you are talking about a "he," "she," or "it" (like the library), you just put the subject (kütüphane) and the describing word (açık) together. The "is" is naturally understood!
Could I say Kütüphane açık çarşamba instead?
It is much better to put açık at the end. In Turkish, the main describing word or action almost always goes at the very end of the sentence. Time words like çarşamba usually go right after the subject.
