birinde

Birinde is a Turkish adverbial form built from the numeral bir (one) plus the locative suffix -inde, meaning “in one of them” or, more broadly, “on one occasion / at one point.” It is used to refer to a specific instance within a set of events, options, or situations.

In usage, birinde is often employed to contrast one example with others. It commonly appears in narratives, explanations, or lists to indicate that a particular occurrence or choice stands out as one instance among several. It can pair with diğerinde (in another one / in the other case) or be part of parallel constructions such as birinde …, birinde … to show differences across cases or times.

Grammatically, birinde functions as an adverbial reference rather than a standalone noun. It does not change with person or tense; rather, it marks which instance is being discussed and anchors the clause that follows to that instance.

Examples:

- Birinde yağmur yağdı, birinde güneş açtı. (In one instance it rained, in another it cleared up.)

- Üç örnek arasından birinde doğru cevap bu. (Among the three examples, one of them is the correct answer.)

Birinde is a common, neutral particle in Turkish, suitable for both everyday speech and written text when the speaker wishes to single out a particular instance within a broader context.
