Couldn't it simply be akşam yemeği masada?

Why is the genitive case used with "masa" in this sentence?

üzeri, just like most postpositions, requires it

İ used "above" but i had a mistake

Why is it masanın not masanı?

This is genitive case to show that the table "possesses" its top.

masanın üzerinde

The root word is "üzeri," but when conjugated why it doesn't become "üzerisinde"?

That is the root because there is no such word as "üzer." Basically, the root already contains the possessive suffix :)

If we say üzerindedir, is it correct in this sentence?
