Normaldeki

Normaldeki is a Turkish adjective-forming compound meaning “in the normal state” or “the normal ones.” It is built from the base adjective normal, the locative suffix -de meaning “in/at,” and the relative suffix -ki that yields a nominal relative clause equivalent to “the ones that are in.” The result is an attributive modifier used to specify items that belong to a standard, usual, or expected condition within a broader context.

Usage and meaning: Normaldeki modifies a noun to indicate elements that meet a normal or expected condition in a specific situation. For example, in sentences like “Normaldeki koşullar altında deney yapılır” (“Under normal conditions, an experiment is performed”) or “Normaldeki değerler kayıtlarda beklenen aralıkta olmalıdır” (“The normal values should be within the expected range in the records”), the phrase points to items that fall within the standard set. It contrasts with phrases that describe abnormal or nonstandard states, and with the adverb normalde, which means “normally” or “typically.”

Notes on usage: The form is common in technical writing, science, medicine, and everyday speech when distinguishing standard cases from abnormal ones. The same pattern appears in other compounds such as evdeki (“in the house” / “the ones at home”) or durumdaki (“in the given situation”). Normaldeki thus serves as a precise way to reference elements that belong to the normal or standard context in a sentence.
