Merhaba
I need a bit of help please.
çocuğun okulu otobüs durağına yakındır.
I understand the whole sentence including all the suffixes except for the last "a" in "durağına".
Is it a typing error or did I miss some grammar rules?!!
Shouldn't it be: çocuğun okulu otobüs durağın yakındır.
teşekkür ederim

No,it was true sentence because -e,-a tells place...
not durağın ... it is durağın-a

Thanks Freshman, can you give me few examples of the case above, please.
It is the only example like this in the whole lesson, so I wonder what is the rule that dictates it.

the affix -a and -e add meanings to the sentence ''towards somewhere,someone'' for example
Ali okula gitti...
Veli Ahmet'e yardim etti.....
yarın mersin'e gideceğiz.....

Greetings,
this issue is explained here:
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/possadj.htm
Quote: Buffer letter -n- is used when adding second suffices to Possessed Items for Third Person Singular his, her, its and Third Person Plural their. |
The reason is that the third singular and plural possesive suffixes end with a volwel.
For instance:
okul: school
with the third singular possessive:
Ali'nin okulu : Ali's school
Here normaly if we had used dative with school we would say:
okul+a: to the school
but because it is after 3.th posseissive suffix we will say:
okulu+na
smillarly with locative case:
okul: school
okulda: in the school
but
Ali'nin okulu: Ali's school
Ali'nin okulu+n+da: at Ali's school
