Locative Suffix "-de, -da, -te, -ta"

In English there are prepositions such as ´in´, ´at´, ´on´ which make the language easier. Instead ´in´, ´at´, ´on´ we have the locative case suffixes.

WOWEL HARMONY İN THE LOCATİVE SUFFİX

We have learned that instead in, at, on we use the -de locative case suffix. Of course this is an -e type suffix and has the -de and -da versions. But also it has the -te and -ta versions. The -te and -ta versions are used if the word ends with a voiceless consonant (p, ç, t, k, h, s, ş, f). This is called consonant harmony. Example:parkta > in the parkSivasta > in Sivassokakta > in the street Add the correct locative suffix according to vowel harmony and consonant harmony. The locative suffix can be -de, -da, -te, -ta.
