başka-another,other,different else
Can you explain me why in this phrase it was used postposition "başka"?
"Yarın işe başkadan başlayacağız"-tomorrow we'll restart working.
Why it was used "başkadan"instead of "baştan"?

Yarın işe başkadan başlayacağız is not correct Turkish

It must be " Yarın işe 'baştan' başlayacağız "

If you use "başka" in the sentence, you need more

"Yarın işe başka 'bir yerden' başlayacağız"

"başka" can not be used alone as a word.

"Baştan başlamak" and "baştan başlatmak" have meaning of "restart" . And same as "yeniden başlamak".

if you think "başka" is a postposition, can you define what a postposition is in the first place?

I don't think "başka" is a postposition.

well according to my grammer book,"başka"is considered postpositon because it foregoes the word which it determinates.The postpositions collocates with the noun according with it case.
In this book it wrote that:"Postposition başka-the noun or the pronoun is in ablative case:
ex: bu kalemdem başka....
sizden başka....

I'm not the expert in turkish grammer but this is all I learnt from this book

Definition


An adposition is a cover term for prepositions and postpositions. It is a member of a closed set of items that


* occur before or after a complement composed of a noun phrase, noun, pronoun, or clause that functions as a noun phrase, and
* form a single structure with the complement to express its grammatical and semantic relation to another unit within a clause.

Examples (English)


* He went to the races.
* He promised to help with whatever was the matter.

The above was copy pasted from somewhere.

Başka is an adjective (sıfat) in your sample

senden genç - younger than you
senden akıllı - more intelligent than you
senden başka - other than you
