durumlardaki

Durumlardaki is a Turkish inflected form used to refer to something located within a set of states or conditions. It is formed from durum (state, condition) plus the plural suffix -lar, yielding durumlar, followed by the locative-demonstrative suffix -daki, a combination of -da (in/at/on) and -ki (a determiner referring to the previously mentioned noun). The whole word conveys “in those states/conditions” and functions as a modifier attached to another noun.

In usage, durumlardaki modifies a following noun to indicate location within the referenced states or conditions. Examples include durumlardaki belirsizlik (the uncertainty in those conditions), durumlardaki değişiklikler (the changes in those conditions), or durumlardaki insanlar (the people in those conditions). The form is common in descriptive or analytic Turkish, especially in written prose, reports, and academic writing, where discourse already establishes a set of conditions. The -ki element adds a sense of reference to a definite, contextually identified group of conditions.

Notes on variation and nuance: durumlardaki specifically marks plurality of the states. Related forms exist for other relationships or emphases, such as singular or possessive constructions, though those are expressed with distinct suffix chains (for example, durumdaki for “in the state/condition”). The phrase requires a following noun to complete the modifier and is typically understood in light of the surrounding context.
