"The women are in the kitchen."

Translation: Kadınlar mutfakta.

[EstanislaoRon]

and why is wrong "kadinlar mutfaktada"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

You added the locative twice :) Mutfak is kitchen. Mutfakta is "In the kitchen" :)

[toplexil]

why is mutfakta Kadınlar wrong ? thank you

[VynM]

That would be "Women in the kitchen" (I guess), like how "Ankara'da güzel bir kadın" is "A beautiful woman in Ankara", rather than "A beautiful woman is in Ankara".

Also like "Genç kadın" = "The young woman", and "Kadın genç." = "The woman is young.".

[toplexil]

yes that sounds plausible, tanks a lot!

[HeikeGerla1]

Why do we say kadınlar mutfakta and not adamlar mutfakta?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

You might see a few switches or new combinations in a new course. ;)

I've read the page about -DIr a couple times, but I still think I'm having a little trouble getting my head around it. In this context, for example, it would be wrong to say "Kadınlar mutfaktadır" because women being in the kitchen isn't, like, an encyclopedic fact, it just happens to be A fact at the time of the utterance, is that right?

[RachaelB1996]

Why is it 'mutfakta' instead of 'mutfakda' ?

[bir_kedi]

it's the consonant harmony: after [p, ç, t, k, f, h, s, and ş], the D of the locative case turns into T.

bayan, hanım, hanımefendi, kadın.
if you call a woman You shall cal her hanımefendi
ayşe bayan no
bayan ayşe no
ayşe hanım yes
ayşe hanımefendi yes.
Ayşe Kadın no

Why it is not right? Kadinlar mutfakta var ? But kadinlar mutfaktadir? Is right
