Merhaba Turkish Class.

I was seing the history "Berk", but i have 2 doubts>

2. Locative Case Suffix: -de, -da, -te, -ta (in, at, on)
Antalya > Antalya’da (“in Antalya”

3. Ablative Case Suffix: -den, -dan, -ten, -tan (from)
Bar > bardan (“from the bar”

In both cases, Where is the rule to use the suffix -de -da or -te -ta???

Some body can help me.
thanks in advance.

Greetings,
I will answer here as well to help others.

It is very easy. You use the t version if the word ends with a consonant AND the consonant is one of "p,ç,t,k,h,s,ş,f".

hi I think if you read the section in the grammar about consonant changes you will understand.
It is called suffix mutation
eg If a word ends in p,c,t,k,f,h,s,ş
and a suffix is added to the word beginning with c or d
they change as follows
c becomes ç
d becomes t
for example
şirket - meaning company(as in business)
şirket -den from the company becomes
şirket -ten
şirketten.
Hope this makes some sense Good luck with it Jo-Anne
