konumunda

Konumunda is a Turkish grammatical form that expresses the meaning “in its position” or “at its location.” It is formed from the noun konum (position) with the third-person singular possessive suffix (-u) and the locative suffix (-da), resulting in a fused form through standard Turkish vowel harmony and suffixation. The sequence can be understood as konum + u (its position) + da (in/at), with assimilation producing konumunda.

Morphology and usage

The construction illustrates how possession and location are encoded in Turkish by attaching multiple suffixes to a base noun rather than by separate prepositional phrases. Konumunda denotes that something is situated at or within the position associated with a referent, making it common in descriptive, geographic, architectural, or legal contexts where precise location relative to an entity must be specified. The form behaves as a noun phrase element that can interact with other modifiers and sentence structure according to Turkish grammar.

Related forms

Several related forms derive from konum and its suffixal system. Examples include konumu (its position), konumundaki (the one that is in its position), konumuna (to its position), and konumunu (its position as a direct object). These variants reflect how Turkish uses possessive and locative suffixes to modify nouns for different syntactic roles.
