Questions & Answers about Yarınki plan hazır.
Why do we add -ki to yarın?
The suffix -ki is used to turn time and place words into adjectives. By adding it to yarın (tomorrow), we get yarınki (tomorrow's), which directly describes the noun plan. You can think of yarınki plan as meaning "the plan that is happening tomorrow."
Does the -ki suffix change based on vowel harmony?
Actually, no! The -ki suffix is a rare exception to Turkish vowel harmony rules. It almost always stays as -ki, regardless of the vowels in the word it attaches to (like the flat 'ı' in yarın). The only common exceptions you will see are dünkü (yesterday's) and bugünkü (today's).
Could I say yarının planı instead of yarınki plan?
Yes, you could. Yarının planı uses the regular possessive structure (literally "the plan of tomorrow"). However, using -ki with time words is much more common and sounds more natural in everyday Turkish when you want to use a time word as an adjective.
Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?
In Turkish, "is" or "are" (the "to be" verb) is often simply understood from context in present-tense sentences. For "he/she/it" subjects, you don't need to add a personal suffix. So, hazır means "ready," but standing alone at the end of a sentence like this, it naturally translates to "is ready."
