Questions & Answers about Biz bir sezonluğuna müstakil bir evde kalacağız.
How exactly does sezonluğuna break down to mean "for a season"?
It uses the structure for intended temporary duration. It consists of the time noun sezon (season) + the suffix -luk (which softens to -luğ) + the 3rd person possessive suffix -u + the buffer letter -n- + the dative case -a ("to"). This specific combination (-lIğInA) is used to express doing an action for a set, temporary period of time.
Could I just say bir sezon için instead of bir sezonluğuna?
I see müstakil translates to "detached". Is this word only used for houses?
The root meaning of the Arabic loanword müstakil is "independent" or "separate." While it is overwhelmingly used in daily life in the phrase müstakil ev to mean a detached, single-family home (as opposed to an apartment building), it can be applied to other things. For example, you might see müstakil bir giriş (an independent/separate entrance).
Just a quick check on word order: why is it müstakil bir evde rather than bir müstakil evde?
