Noun states

In Turkish, a noun has 5 fundamental states, produced using suffixes, that correspond to meanings of some prepositions in

English. It is not necessary to learn these as the states of nouns, but learning these suffixes is important since they are very

commonly used.

State

Meaning

Nothing state (no

suffix)

Just the plain noun.

-i state

Marks the noun as the subject of an action.

-e state

Adds the meaning of direction (very similar to

the proposition to )

-de state

Adds the meaning of position (Used for the

prepositions in , at , on )

-den state

Adds the meaning of from , used for this

preposition

An important thing to note here is the use of the - i form. It is used to denote the subject of an action, and adds the meaning

of " being known, specified " just as the meaning given by " the ". This will be more clear after looking at the sentences

below. (bir --> one, kedi --> cat, grdm --> I saw)

Bir kedi grdm. --> I saw a cat. (Note that although cat is the object of the action here, the -i form of kedi is

not used since it is not known, i.e. it is a cat, not the cat )

Kediyi grdm. --> I saw the cat. (Note that kedi has the suffix -i, but the two -i's are separated by the fusion

consonant 'y'.)

Now, example sentences for all the cases.

Nothing state:

This is a house. --> Bu bir ev.

-i state:

I saw the house. --> Evi grdm.

-e state:

Go home. --> Eve git. (House and home are the same word in Turkish, 'ev' .)

-de state:

The pen is on the table. --> Kalem masada.

Joe is at school. --> Joe okulda.

Your mother is in that room. --> Annen o odada.

-den state:

I came from home. --> Evden geldim.
