Sekizde

Sekizde is a Turkish word that translates to "at eight" or "in eight". It is commonly used to denote a specific time of day, often referring to 8 o'clock. For example, "Sekizde buluşalım" means "Let's meet at eight".

The word is derived from the Turkish numeral "sekiz" meaning "eight" and the locative suffix "-de", which indicates a location or time. This suffix is one of the many case suffixes in the Turkish language, which is agglutinative, meaning that suffixes are added to a root word to modify its meaning or grammatical function.

Beyond its literal meaning of a time, "sekizde" can also be used in more figurative contexts. In some cultural settings, it might imply a customary or expected time for an activity, even if not strictly enforced. It can also be part of idiomatic expressions. For instance, a phrase like "uyanmak sekizde" would simply mean "to wake up at eight". The precise nuance can depend on the surrounding words and the general context of the conversation.
