Kurumlardaki

Kurumlardaki is a Turkish attributive form built from kurum (institution) with the plural suffix -lar, the locative suffix -da, and the relative suffix -ki. The result, kurumlardaki, functions as a modifier meaning “in the institutions” or, in a broader sense, “the ones in the institutions.” It is used to specify location and to introduce a noun phrase that refers to people or things located within multiple institutions.

Morphologically, kurum becomes kurumlar (institutions), to which the locative plural -larda is applied, yielding kurumlarda. The relative marker -ki attaches to this form, producing kurumlardaki. In practice, kurumlardaki modifies a following noun to form phrases such as kurumlardaki çalışanlar (the employees in the institutions) or kurumlardaki güvenlik önlemleri (the security measures in the institutions).

Usage context, tone, and nuance:

- Common in formal or written Turkish, including academic, governmental, and news prose.

- Can be used to discuss policies, conditions, personnel, or phenomena occurring within organizations or public facilities such as schools, hospitals, government agencies, and similar institutions.

- The phrase often appears as part of a larger noun phrase, carrying a locational sense without needing a full clause.

Examples:

- Kurumlardaki öğrenciler hafta sonu sınava girecek. (The students in the institutions will take the exam on Sunday.)

- Kurumlardaki güvenlik önlemleri artırıldı. (The security measures in the institutions were increased.)

- Kurumlardaki personel yoğunluğu sorun yaratıyor. (The staffing density in the institutions is causing problems.)
