ekonomideki

Ekonomideki is a Turkish grammatical form that combines the noun ekonomi (economy) with the locative suffix -de and the relative/demonstrative suffix -ki. It functions as a modifier meaning roughly “the one in the economy” or, more commonly, “the economy’s” when used to specify context or relation to the economy. In practice, it is used to create noun phrases that refer to something situated within or related to the economy.

In Turkish, ekonomideki is used to qualify a following noun and is almost always written as a single word. It appears in phrases such as ekonomideki gelişmeler (the developments in the economy), ekonomideki belirsizlik (the uncertainty in the economy), and ekonomideki kriz (the crisis in the economy). This construction is frequent in journalism, policy analysis, and academic writing because it concisely locates the subject within the economic context.

Grammatical notes: ekonomideki is formed by attaching -de (locative) to ekonomi and then adding -ki to create a definite relative form, yielding a compound that modifies a noun. It cannot stand alone as a free-standing noun. It contrasts with related forms like ekonomide (in the economy, adverbial) and ekonomik (economic), which carry different syntactic or semantic functions. The term is widely understood in Turkish discourse to indicate phenomena, indicators, or events specifically within the economic sphere.
