Questions & Answers about Öğle yemeği için döner aldım.
Why does yemek have an -i at the end in Öğle yemeği?
Öğle yemeği is a noun compound. In Turkish, when two nouns are combined to make a new concept (like öğle for noon and yemek for meal), the second noun gets a possessive suffix. So yemek becomes yemeği. Notice the k changes to ğ because of the vowel.
Does almak mean to take or to buy?
It means both! The verb almak is used very often in Turkish for both taking and buying. You can usually tell which one it is from the context. Here, buying makes the most sense.
Why doesn't döner have an accusative ending like döneri?
Because it is an indefinite direct object. The speaker is saying they bought a döner in general, not a specific one you were already talking about. If it were döneri aldım, it would mean I bought the döner.
Do I need to use the word bir to say 'a döner'?
Not always. In Turkish, you can often leave out bir when talking about everyday objects where the exact number isn't the main focus. Saying döner aldım is the most natural way to say I bought a döner.
