kümesidir

Kümesidir is a Turkish predicative form that expresses, in effect, “it is a coop.” The base noun kümes denotes a henhouse or poultry yard, a structure for keeping poultry such as chickens, ducks, or geese. The suffix -dir is a copular ending that adds emphasis and marks a definite assertion. When combined as kümesidir, it functions as a complete predicate meaning that the subject belongs to the category of coops.

In Turkish, the copula for the present tense is not a separate word; instead, emphasis or classification is conveyed with the -dir suffix. Therefore kümesidir is typically used in formal, descriptive, or dictionary-like statements where a clear definition is required. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers may opt for simpler constructions such as “bir kümes” (a coop) or a bare noun combined with a different verb.

Usage notes: Kümesidir is best understood as a definitional or label-like form. It appears in sentences that identify or classify an object, for example: Bu yapı kümesidir. This structure is a coop. O alanda bir kümesidir. That area is a coop. The form agrees with the subject through Turkish verb agreement rules, and the -dir suffix provides a strong, declarative assertion.
