Dative is the twentieth (assuming read left to right) skill in the Turkish language tree, which has two lessons on the dative case in relation to going somewhere.
Grammar Notes[]
Dative Case[]
The dative case is used when describing going "to" somewhere or doing something with/to someone. The ending is -(y)A, with the y added if the ending of the word is a vowel.
- park -> parka
- bar -> bara
- ofis -> ofise
Bu/Şu/Or[]
These words are often confused for one another, so clarification is needed:
- Bu only refers to "here", so it cannot be used for "there";
- Şu refers to a there that is usually within sight, so for example "he went over there" would probably use şu; and
- Or refers to a "there" that is outside of sight and/or really far away, so for example "he went to Germany. He actually went there." would likely use or.
