dakikadaki

Dakikadaki is a Turkish grammatical form used to create an adjective phrase meaning “in the minute” or “within that minute.” It is built from the noun dakika (minute) combined with the locative suffix -daki, which marks location in time relative to a definite reference. In usage, dakikadaki functions to describe something that is located within or tied to a specific minute previously mentioned or implied, as in phrases like dakikadaki olaylar (the events in the minute) or dakikadaki değişiklikler (the changes within the minute).

The form is a standard part of Turkish grammar and appears in descriptive and narrative contexts to confine statements to a particular moment. It is not typically treated as a standalone lexical item with a fixed definition outside of its grammatical role; rather, it operates as a time-bound modifier attached to a noun.

Dakikadaki can also appear in surrounding discourse as part of more complex time-related expressions, and there are related forms such as dakikada, which conveys a related sense of timing but with different nuance. While dakikadaki can surface in titles or stylistic uses in literature or media, there is no widely recognized meaning for it beyond its function as a locative time marker in Turkish.
