Questions & Answers about Başka herhangi bir şubeye git.
Does the word order matter here? Could I say herhangi bir başka şubeye instead of başka herhangi bir şubeye?
In Turkish, başka (other) generally comes before herhangi bir (any) when they modify the same noun. So başka herhangi bir şubeye is the most natural way to say 'to any other branch'.
Can I drop bir and just say başka herhangi şubeye git?
No, when you use herhangi to mean 'any' as an indefinite determiner before a noun, it almost always must be followed by bir. Think of herhangi bir as a fixed pair.
Does using herhangi bir change the case ending on the noun?
Not at all. The noun şube (branch) still takes the dative case ending -ye (to) because the verb git (go) requires it to show direction. Determiners like herhangi bir do not change the case of the noun they describe.
Can I use şube to talk about the branch of a tree?
No, şube specifically means a branch of a business, office, or organization, like a bank branch. If you are talking about a tree branch, you would use the word dal.
