Postpositions in Turkish

Unlike many European languages, Turkish doesn't use prepositions. Instead, it employs postpositions, which come after the noun they modify. Some common postpositions include:

• için (for, in order to)
• ile (with)
• gibi (like, as)
• kadar (until, as much as)

Case Suffixes

Turkish often uses case suffixes instead of prepositions:

• Dative case (-e/-a): indicates direction or recipient
• Locative case (-de/-da): indicates location
• Ablative case (-den/-dan): indicates movement from

Examples

1. Okula gidiyorum (I'm going to school) - uses dative case
2. Evde kalıyorum (I'm staying at home) - uses locative case
3. Ankara'dan geliyorum (I'm coming from Ankara) - uses ablative case

Compound Postpositions

Some Turkish postpositions combine with case suffixes:

• hakkında (about)
• tarafından (by)
• sayesinde (thanks to)

These compound postpositions require the genitive case for the preceding noun.
