Questions & Answers about Çay tiryakileri küçük bir taburede oturur ve demli çay içer.
Since this lesson covers lexicalized adjectives from the locative case, is taburede acting as one of those adjectives here?
No, taburede is functioning as a standard noun in the locative case, telling us exactly where they sit (on a stool). Unlike lexicalized forms where the locative word takes on a new figurative adjective meaning (like gözde meaning "favorite"), taburede is purely literal in this sentence.
Why does çay tiryakisi (tea addict) become çay tiryakileri in the plural, rather than keeping the compound marker -si?
When pluralizing a Turkish noun compound, the plural suffix -ler replaces the third-person possessive compound marker -(s)i. You add the plural directly to the second noun, followed by a new possessive suffix (tiryaki + ler + i), forming the plural compound.
Why do the verbs oturur and içer use the aorist tense instead of the present continuous (oturuyor, içiyor)?
The aorist tense (the -r / -ar / -er suffix) is used here to describe a general truth, characteristic, or habitual action. It tells us what tea addicts always or typically do in general, rather than describing an action happening right at this moment.
