Motorlarndaki

Motorlarındaki is a Turkish word-phrase formed from motorlar (engines) with the plural suffix -lar, followed by the locative plus relative suffix -daki, yielding motorlarındaki. The phrase means “the ones in the engines” or “the things inside the engines” and is used to refer to objects, contents, or components located within engines, often in automotive, mechanical, or technical contexts. It can function as a determiner for nouns such as yağ (oil), parçalar (parts), or sensörler (sensors).

Morphology: motorlar = motor + -lar (plural). The suffix -daki is a combination of the locative -da/-de (in) and the relative -ki, attached to the plural noun to form a compound meaning “the ones that are in.” The resulting form motorlarındaki is then followed by a noun, for example motorlarındaki yağ, motorlarındaki parçalar. A variant spelling motorlarndaki is less common and generally considered nonstandard; the standard form is motorlarındaki.

Usage: This construction is common in technical or descriptive sentences where the location of items inside a mechanism is important. Examples include:

- Motorlarındaki yağ seviyesi düşük. (The oil level in the engines is low.)

- Motorlarındaki sensörler arızalandı. (The sensors in the engines malfunctioned.)

- Motorlarındaki parçaları değiştirmek gerekiyor. (It is necessary to replace the parts inside the engines.)

Notes: The phrase illustrates Turkish suffix harmony and the way nested relations inside a body (injuries, contents, components) are expressed in a single noun phrase. It should not be confused with koling patterns that denote possession; motorlarındaki refers specifically to location within the engines.
