Sepete

Sepete is the dative case form of the Turkish noun sepet, meaning basket. In Turkish grammar, the ending -e marks direction toward or into a location, so sepete is used when describing movement to or placement into a basket. The word sepet itself refers to a hand-woven container used to carry or hold items such as groceries, laundry, or goods.

In everyday use, sepete appears in sentences like “Meyveleri sepete koydu” (He put the fruits into the basket). It also appears in modern contexts, especially in e-commerce, where the phrase “Sepete ekle” means “Add to cart,” a common UI instruction on Turkish shopping sites.

The root sepet is a native Turkish noun with a long-standing presence in the language, and its precise historical etymology is not definitively established. The dative form sepete follows standard Turkish inflection rules, adding the -e suffix to indicate direction or destination. As with many Turkish nouns, sepete can combine with other verbs to describe actions involving placing, moving, or transferring items into a basket.

Overall, sepete functions as a straightforward grammatical form used to express the idea of moving toward or into a basket in Turkish, while also appearing in contemporary digital vocabulary as part of user interface language.
