Learn Turkish: Herhangi bir şubede danışma var mı? - Is there an information desk at any branch?

When modifying a singular countable noun like şube (branch), herhangi (any) almost always needs to be paired with bir (a/an). Saying herhangi şubede sounds incomplete to a Turkish ear.

Does herhangi bir şubede mean 'at every branch' or 'at just one of the branches'?

It means 'at any single branch' in a non-specific, random way. If you wanted to ask if there is an information desk at every branch, you would use her şubede.

I know the verb danışmak means 'to consult'. Is that related to danışma?

Yes! Danışma is a verbal noun made by adding the -ma suffix to the verb root danış-. It literally means 'consulting', but it is the standard Turkish word for an 'information desk' or 'reception area'.

English speakers sometimes say 'at any branches'. Can I use the plural şubelerde in Turkish?

No, you must use the singular noun şubede here. Because of the word bir (a/one) inside the phrase herhangi bir, the noun that follows it must always remain singular.
