Locative Postpositions

 

 

Hello again.

Location Postpositions are used to tell the location of nouns, such us "under, over, in, on, inside...etc"

Now, we are going to learn this postpositions and their usages.

-de/-da

This is not a postposition, it is a suffix which means "at". I will tell you this structure again at Locative Mode.

I have told about this structure at first unit to tell you what Vowel Harmony and Consotant Mutuations were working for.

  • If a noun´s last vowel is one of "a, ı, o and u" and ends with a soft consonant, then add "-da"

 

  • If a noun´s last vowel is one of "e, i, ö and ü" and ends with a soft consotant, then add "-de"

 

  • If a noun´s last vowel is one of "a, ı, o and u" and ends with a hard consonant, then add "-ta"

 

  • If a noun´s last vowel is one of "e, i, ö and ü" and ends with a hard consonant, then add "-te"

 

ev > evde

 

araba> arabada

 

şehir > şehirde

 

defter > defterde

 

kitap > kitapta

 

okul > okulda

 

şarkı > şarkıda

 

sınıf (classroom) > sınıfta

 

bahçe > bahçede

 

otobüs (bus) > otobüste

 

Before alluding at postpositions of locations, note that we use "tamlayan" suffixes for nouns. You will see.

 

İç/İçinde

 

"İç" is the simplest "in, inside of things." But when we use it as a location postposition, we use "içinde"

evin i : inside of home

 

okulun i : inside of school

 

arabanın i : inside of car (underlined n are connection character)

 

bahçenin i : inside of garden
