The Plural Forms are also extended with -dan - from.. and -a towards..
buralardan (bu-ra-lar-dan) - from hereabouts
uralardan (u-ra-lar-dan) - from around there
oralardan (o-ra-lar-dan) - over around there
nerelerden? (ne-re-ler-den?) - whereabouts from?
buralara (bu-ra-lar-a) - to around here
uralara (u-ra-lar-a) - to around there
oralara (o-ra-lar-a) - to those parts
nerelere? (ne-re-ler-e?) - whereabouts to?
As we can see the plural forms are vaguer and wider, but they are
used just as we in English make these distinctions in place and
space.
Buralarda bir gzel restoran var m? - Is there a good
restaurant around here?
Buraya gel! - Come (to) here!
Orada yeil araba var. - There is a green car over there.
urada byk otel var. - There is a big hotel there.
Kredi Bankas nerede? - Where is the Kredi Bank?.
ar nerelerde? - Whereabouts are the shops?.
Buradan saat sekizde kalm - Let's leave (from) here at 8
o' clock.
Particular Locations
Particular Locations - right here, right there and just where?
If we need to communicate a more particular place and sense of
location then as in English we have to be more precise. This
precision in Turkish is achieved by using the suffix -i or -si
meaning - its. By adding this suffix Turkish makes the place
particular:
buras (bu-ra-s) - right here [Lit: its place (exactly) here.]
uras (u-ra-s) - right there.
oras (o-ra-s) - right over there.
neresi? (ne-re-si?) - just where? [Lit: where exactly?]
Note that the -si suffix is the Possessed part of the Possessive
Relationship and that sometimes the Possessor is "understood",
we should really be using this expression as a complete
relationship as in: "bankann buras" or "evin uras" or
"ngilterenin oras", but this is a bit pedantic. (See note below)
Some Examples
Some Examples: right here, just there. All these mean exactly right here or right there or just where?
Buras souk. - It is cold right here
Burasna gel! - Come (right to) here
Binann burasndan kaalm! - Let's get away from (of) this
building.
In the last two examples it can be said as a descriptive way when
you have a map or something in your hand and show the person
some district on the map and tell him to come to the exact place
of the district.
