because in Turkish both the possessor (ev) and the possessed thing (oda) require suffixes
For possessor "house"="ev", use genitive case suffix "in" and for possessed object "room"="oda", use the possessive case suffix "-i (pointless) with the buffer "s", so "oda-s-i".
Hello Mariane.

Hello.
"A room of the house." Translation: Evin bir odası.
"Bir evin odası" doğru mu? Hayır.
Bir evin odası. "One houses room." Anlaması değişir.
"Bir", evin ve odası arasında.
"Bir", oncede kullanmaz.
Thank you.
We use genitive case (-In) in order to say X of Y or Y's X as a possession.
-den/-dan (Ablative case) never means of as a possessive/genitive construction. It basically means from, through, than.
It also means out of. So, Let's go out of here - Buradan çıkalım. or I did it out of fear. - Korkudan yaptım.
Sometimes it can mean of, but there is no certain rule of this.
I am bored of you. - Senden sıkıldım.
I am scared of you. - Senden korkuyorum.
So -den/-dan doesn't equal to of.
Senden korkuyorum could be explained as "I am scared of what comes from you", hence -den.

Hello.
So many suffixes... - Only two...
"A room of the house" Translation: Evin bir odası
Ev "-in" genitive case suffix. Meaning: "Of the house."
Odası. Meaning: "Room of. "-sı" possessive suffix 3rd person singular.
Bir. Meaning: (one/a) in English.
House - (noun)
Room - (noun)
So "bir" goes between two nouns in the Turkish answer.
Have a güzel day.
why would it be evinin?the root word is ev and you add possessive suffix -in od the word.
"-in" in "evin" is the genitive case suffix, for possessor, here the house.
I am having trouble with word order. Why is 'Bir oda evde' wrong? This right answer is like "the house's one room", no? Why is that right?
because "of" also indicates possession just like 's in house's ???
"bir oda evde" doesn't make much sense, but even if it did, it would only indicate location
Because of the way Turkish does compound nouns. Ev odası would mean something like ''house room'' -- a general category for a particular type of room. If you want to say ''the house's room'' -- the example here -- you need the genitive suffix on the first noun as well as the second.
İ had the exact same question @Ertuğrul İ answered "Evinin odası" and it was market wrong
The root word is " ev " and with possessive suffix -in, it will become " evin "
"evin"="of the house", "ev+in", "ev" at genitive case for the possessor, the owner. The house owns a room. "in" genitive case suffix.
Why is it “evin”? I don’t understand why the suffix is -in, why is it the 2nd person singular?
Nennxil, 6Karl6 gives us an easy explanation in his comment above. Please, read it. Thanks.
huda.al.sokromy, "evin-IN odası"= "a room OF your house". "Evin"="your house"="OF the house".
So saying "evin" is like personification of the house? Is that the rule for any object?
