Questions & Answers about Öğretmen çarşamba ve perşembe okulda.
Why isn't there a word for "on" before çarşamba and perşembe?
In English, we say "on Wednesday," but in Turkish, you usually just use the name of the day by itself to say when something happens. You can simply use çarşamba and perşembe without any extra words or suffixes to mean that it happens on those days.
Why aren't the days of the week capitalized in this sentence?
In Turkish, days of the week are written with lowercase letters. You only capitalize them if they are at the very beginning of a sentence, or if they are part of an exact, specific date (like 5 Mayıs Çarşamba).
How does okulda mean "at school"?
Okul is the word for school. The -da ending is the locative suffix, which is used to say "in," "on," or "at" a place. By attaching -da, we get okulda, which means at school.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
Turkish doesn't have a separate word for "is." In simple sentences that describe where someone or something is, the verb is simply understood from context. The sentence literally flows as: Teacher Wednesday and Thursday at school.
