Questions & Answers about Şirkette çoğunluğun payı üçte iki.
How does üçte iki mean "two-thirds"?
In Turkish, fractions are built using the locative case suffix, which usually means "in" or "at". Üçte iki literally translates to "in three, two" (meaning two out of three). You always say the total number of parts first with the locative ending, followed by the number of parts you have.
Why is there a ğ in çoğunluğun?
Why does pay (share) have an -ı at the end?
There is no verb like "is" in the Turkish sentence. How does that work?
In Turkish, you often don't need a specific word for "is" when making a statement about a third party (like "the share"). Simply placing the fraction üçte iki at the end of the sentence is enough to mean "is two-thirds".
