1. Hayvanat bahçesindeki maymunu gördüm.

2. Hayvanat bahçesinde maymunu  gördüm.

I saw the monkey in zoo.

2.2 Hayvanat bahçesinde maymunu gördüm.

3. Bu hayvan hayvanat bahçesinde yaşıyor.
That animal lives in zoo.

corrections are welcomed.

1. Which monkey did you see? (The head of the pink part is the following noun.)

2. Where did you see the monkey? (The head of the pink part is the predicate.)

3. Where does this animal live? (The head of the pink part is the predicate also.)

Syntactically

                         (hayvanat bahçesinde)ki maymun

is like

                         komik maymun

                         küçük maymun

                         oynayan maymun...

Because there is no such structure in English local adverbial + -ki usually translates as a relative clause: ´The monkey which is in the zoo´.

I think that suffix -ki is only for words ending with -de/-da.
For nouns you just use acusative. You saw who? , Maymunu gördün.
Check this out:
http://www.turkishlanguage.co.uk/ki.htm

That can be used like: ´´That is in school´´,or ´´The one who is in school´´

Okulda olan adam.-The man who  is in the school.
Okuldaki adam-The man who is in the school.

Quote: Yarvik364

Bana öyle geliyor ki bizi anlıyoruz .

Nice. Just remember the attached -ki and the conjunction ki (which stands on its own) are two different things.

Thank you for correcting my English(I have a little problem with it).. But I hope that you understood a point.

-

what did you want to mean ?

no it is not possible.

I saw the monkey in a zoo.

Maymunu bir hayvanat bahçesinde gördüm.

Your sentence ; "  Bana öyle geliyor ki bizi anlıyoruz. " doesn´t make sense in Turkish. May be that´s why she asked you to explain what do you mean by that. 

-

Yes I realize it, thank you Yarvik364. I used the superfluous structure here so that you could see the difference between the sentences without me going too deep into grammatical terms.

Maybe we could say if you can (in theory) bring it back into a relative clause it probably takes -ki. I sometimes use this method when I try to understand what a sentence consists of.

birbirimizi: eachother

 The is exactly the way I would have explained it. "ki" is like "the one that is"

So hayvanat bahçesindeki maymunu gördüm: I saw the monkey that was in the zoo.

This is more specific than I saw a monkey in the zoo

I am still laughing at this. I am not innocent

Do you often laugh at learners gokuyum?

I have noticed a special characteristic in Turks: innocent laugh. It confuses me because malicious pleasure is the only pleasure I know.

Sometimes I laugh at them. But I don´t mock them. But yarvik is an exception

gas chambers were used by the Nazi during WWII

I dont mock you because you are authistic. I have no problem with authistic people.

I had a really close friend with asperger syndrome.

Look my friend. Everything doesn´t need to be perfect. Asperger syndrome or Asperger´s Synodrome. Why do you want to correct everything? This is an obsessive behavor and this offend people. Let it go.

-

Yarvik you are an asshole and this is not because you are autistic. You willingly misinterpret what I say. This is your character. I have no business with you anymore.

-

"asshole" is a very bad word 

Now, whatever you will say about yourself will be falsified because of this.

I dont care. I cant wear masks.

so are you implying that we do not use rude words because we wear masks?

maybe, maybe not.  no comment
