Projedeki

Projedeki is a Turkish attributive form formed from the noun proje (project) plus the locative suffix -de and the relative/determiner suffix -ki. The resulting word means “in the project” or “the one in the project” and is used to modify another noun to reference something associated with a specific project. It is typically written as a single word, for example projedeki ekip (the team in the project) or projedeki sorun (the issue in the project).

In Turkish, -ki functions as a determiner-like suffix that gives a definite sense to the noun it attaches to, while -de marks location. Thus projedeki can appear in phrases describing elements related to a particular project: projedeki faaliyetler (the activities in the project), projedeki kişi (the person in the project), or projedeki bölüm (the department in the project). Its use is common in contexts where multiple projects or components are discussed, such as administration, academia, or software development.

Related forms and contrasts: other possessive or locative constructions exist, such as projenin (of the project) for possession, or projeye (to the project) for direction. The -ki construction is distinct from these, because it emphasizes the reference to a definite item within the project rather than ownership alone. The pattern noun + de + ki can be applied to many nouns to indicate a definite relationship to the referenced entity, producing phrases equivalent to “the one in the X.”

Example: Projedeki ekip toplantıya katıldı. Translation: The team in the project attended the meeting.
