"O geleneksel bir gazete."

Translation: It is a traditional newspaper.

[Ahnaqsh]

Does the word 'geleneksel' have any constituent parts?

[mizinamo]

Yes.

geleneksel = traditional
gelenek = tradition

gelenek itself seems to be from gel- "to come" + -AnAk but I'm not sure what that ending means.

[alibektas34]

• Gel(-mek) → to come (the root),

• Gelen → incoming (adjective),

• Gelenek → tradition (the customs or beliefs that come from old generation to new ones) (noun)

PS: the suffix "-ek" is one of the suffix that used to obtain a noun out of an adjective. More examples:

• olan → olanak,

• gören → görenek,

• düzen → düzenek.

[AmFilip]

Does this mean something like "conservative newspaper" or rather something like "newspaper which is not fancy, but just, well, traditional"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Either or :)

[tbs_]

since the main translation is "it" instead of "that" shouldnt that mean that there should be a comma after O?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

The comma isn't necessary most of the time :)

Just to add to what Mr.HilmiNevzat said... "Bu" is for the nearest, "Şu" is something/someone at a distance, "O" is more further away from the speaker.
