Merhaba!

I am a bit confused with the suffixes. In my book there is a tamamlayıcı bilgiler but no meaning is added so it is hard to figure out what it means exactly.

burası-??? this place???

buraya-to here

buradan-from here

burayı-???

burada- in here

There is a question : Burası neresi?- What is this place? (at least I think it means that)

orası-???

oraya-to there

oradan-from there

orayı-???

orada-in there

 

şurası-???

şuraya-???

şuradan-???

şurayı-???

şurada-???

 

How to use lı, (-li, -lu, lü  and -sız, (-siz, -suz, -süz )

Is it `with `(lı ) and `without `(-sız) ?

 

It is very hard to learn alone. Please If anyone could help would be appreciated. Teşekkür ederim

Burada kaç kişi var ? --> How many people [there are] in here ?

Buraya gel. [ come here]  Bura + y [buffer] + a [to] [lit: to here]

Buradan = Bura + dan [from] ---> From here

Otobüse buradan bineceksin ---> You will get the bus from here.

Buranın = of here [possesive]

Buranın yemekleri çok güzel ---> The food of this place is very nice.

                                            [The food in this place [restaurant] is very nice]

Buradaki = the thing that is here

Bura +da + ki [that]

Buradaki arabalar yeni ---> The cars that are here are new.

 

- imagine you are in a turkish minibus [dolmuş] and you want to get off and you can say to driver ;

I think Burayı is when you are using here as an object:

Burayı sevdin mi? -i accusative (Did you like here?)

Quoting denizli

I think Burayı is when you are using here as an object:

Burayı sevdin mi? -i accusative (Did you like here?)

 

That is right explanation. 

With some verbs which requires an accusative marking we add -I [i,] in the end of "bura" some of those verbs :

-i bilmek  [ to know something]

- i sevmek [ to like/love something]

- i  görmek [ to see something]

- i temizlemek [ to clean something]

-i  satmak  [ to sell something] [ if it is a definite object]

 

Burayı bilmiyorum. ---> I don´t know here.

Burayı  sevmiyorum. ----> I don´t like here.

Burayı daha önce görmedim. ----> I haven´t seen here before.

Burayı temizle ----> Clean here.

Burayı satmayı düşünüyorum. ---> I am thinking to sell here.

 

Note: "y" between two vowels funciton as a buffer letter to connect two vowels.

Yes, thats correct. -li,lı, lü, lu ["with" ]   -siz, -suz, -süz  [withouth]
Şekerli - Sugary [with sugar]
Şekersiz -  Sugarless [without sugar]
Gürültü - Noisy  [With noise]
Gürültüsüz - noiseless [without noise]

We can also use plural forms of those words


Buralar, Oralar, Şuralar


ora + lar [plural]


oralarda hayat nasıl ----> how´s the weather over there ?


Bura + lar 


Buralarda hayat zor. ----> Life is hard here.
