Questions & Answers about Düğün daveti dün geldi.
Is there a difference between using davet and davetiye in this context?
Yes! Davet means the abstract act of inviting, or the event itself. Davetiye specifically refers to the physical printed invitation card. If you received a paper card in the mail, düğün davetiyesi is more precise, but düğün daveti is commonly used for receiving the invite in general, whether verbally, digitally, or physically.
Why is it düğün daveti instead of just düğün davet?
This is a refresher on indefinite noun compounds. When you pair two nouns where the first acts as a category or type for the second (a 'wedding' type of invitation), the second noun must take the 3rd-person possessive suffix. Therefore, davet becomes daveti.
This lesson is about the postposition adına (on behalf of / for the sake of). How would I say 'The invitation came on behalf of the family'?
Could I change the word order and say Dün düğün daveti geldi?
