Questions & Answers about Kebap, o şehre has bir lezzet.
Why does the word for city take the dative case here (şehre)?
The word has means "unique to" or "specific to" and acts as a postposition that requires the preceding noun or pronoun to take the dative case (-(y)a / -(y)e). Therefore, "unique to that city" must be written as o şehre has.
Can I use özgü or mahsus instead of has in this sentence?
Absolutely. You can say o şehre özgü bir lezzet or o şehre mahsus bir lezzet with almost no change in meaning. All three words mean "unique/specific to" and all require the dative case. Özgü is a native Turkish word, whereas has and mahsus are very common Arabic loanwords.
