"We are riding a horse."

[GordonRobb]

So is this the dative used on horse? To the horse, I am riding? Whe?

[Selcen_Ozturk]

yes. "binmek" requires a dative object

[brjaga]

How would you say that you are riding a horse to some place, since I would think the destination would be dative

[orde90]

the actual meaning of binmek is getting on or mounting. it can make more sense this way. yeah it also means to ride (horses, bikes, motorcycles)

[walaa824074]

What the meaning of (ata).
Is it the horse or to horse.
I can not understand

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"Horse" is "at."

"ata" is horse in the dative case. It is in the dative case here because the verb binmek takes dative objects.

[trvshrmn]

Can the direct object of binmek ever be in the nominative case, like some other verbs?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Nope, it is always dative :)

[ilknr1]

I do not know whether it is correct or not in terms of grammar but "at binmek" is also said by some people.

[geometry]

Can I use "kullanmak" here?

[ilknr1]

No.
