evimde

evimde is a Turkish locative phrase meaning “in my house” or “at my home.” It is formed from the noun ev (house) with the first-person possessive suffix -im, yielding evim (my house), followed by the locative suffix -de, giving evimde. This construction is used to specify location from the speaker’s point of view and can function as a standalone adverbial phrase or as part of a full sentence.

Morphology and related forms: evimde is built by joining evim and -de, with vowel harmony applying to the suffix. For a complete sentence, evimdeyim means “I am in my house.” Turkish also forms evimdeki to modify a noun, meaning “the one in my house” or “inside my house’s …” as in evimdeki televizyon bozuldu (“the TV in my house broke”). Other related forms include evde (at home, in a home in general) and evim (my house).

Usage notes: evimde is commonly used in daily speech and writing to indicate location precisely. Examples: Şu anda evimdeyim. (I’m at home right now.) Evimde kahvaltı yaptım. (I had breakfast at my home.) Evimdeki odam sessiz. (The room in my house is quiet.) The phrase helps distinguish one’s own home from other places, such as someone else’s home or a public place.

See also: ev (house), evde (at home), evimdeki (the one in my house). Turkish locative constructions frequently combine possession and location to express precise spatial meaning.
