Cümlede

Cümlede is the locative form of the Turkish noun cümle (sentence). It means “in the sentence” or “within the sentence.” In Turkish morphology, the locative case uses the suffix -de or -da, depending on vowel harmony; for cümle the form is cümlede. The locative case is used to indicate location or position and is common in both everyday speech and linguistic analysis to discuss where an element appears in a text or sentence.

In usage, cümlede functions as a prepositional phrase that marks position within a sentence. It can begin a clause or be part of a larger noun phrase referring to placement inside the sentence. Examples: “Bu ifade cümlede iki kez geçer.” (This expression appears twice in the sentence.) “Cümledeki özne yüklemle uyum içindedir.” (The subject in the sentence is in harmony with the predicate.)

Related forms and notes: cümledeki (the one in the sentence) is a common attributive form, and cümledeyken (while in the sentence) shows a temporal relation. The locative case is one of Turkish place-marking cases (yer bildiren haller) and is used widely to indicate location in space or text, with examples such as evde (at home), şehirde (in the city), sınıfta (in the classroom).
