Questions & Answers about Bu sitede olan kiralık evleri görmek istiyorum.
How does olan translate to 'that are'?
The word olan is made from the verb olmak (to be) plus the subject participle suffix -an. It literally means 'being' or 'which are'. It connects bu sitede (in this complex) to kiralık evleri (the houses for rent), acting exactly like the phrase 'that are' does in English.
Doesn't site mean a website on the internet?
It can! In Turkish, site is used for websites, but it also commonly refers to a housing complex, residential estate, or gated community. The context of houses for rent (kiralık evler) tells us it means a housing complex here.
Why does evleri have the -i suffix at the end?
The -i is the specific direct object (accusative) case ending. Because you want to see specific houses (the ones in this complex), evler (houses) becomes evleri. It is receiving the action of the verb görmek (to see).
