Annem çarşamba günü bir ameliyat için hastaneye gidecek.
Does "ü" refers to "the"?
Here are my thoughts as a learner.
I have been told that to say ´on Wednesday´ you can use
çarşamba or çarşamba günü (the day of Wednesday)
çarşamba akşamı = Wednesday evening (evening of Wednesday)
çarşamba gecesi = Wednesday night (night of Wednesday)
çarşamba sabahı = Wednesday morning (morning of Wednesday)
So to answer your question, the ´ü´ is a marker to show the word is a noun compound, and here its translation can be likened to ´of´,
day of Wednesday.
But noun compounds do not always translate the same way.
Garanti Bankası = the Garanti Bank
Himalaya dağları = the Himalayas
Another example that might help you -
Çarşamba günleri bu müze kapalı. or Çarşambaları bu müze kapalı.
This museum is closed on Wednesdays.
