markazlarda
Markazlarda is a locative plural form used in Turkic languages such as Turkish and Uzbek. The base noun markaz means center, hub, or a focal place, and markazlar is its plural. By attaching the locative suffix -da (often written as -de after assimilation) to the plural markazlar, the word becomes markazlarda, meaning “in the centers” or “at the centers.” The construction illustrates how Turkish and Uzbek combine number and location in a single word.
In usage, markazlarda indicates the location of actions, events, or activities that occur within multiple centers
- Turkish: Toplantılar markazlarda yapıldı. (The meetings were held in the centers.)
- Uzbek: Markazlarda uchrashuvlar o'tkazildi. (Meetings were held in the centers.)
The form shows typical Turkic morphology: a plural suffix -lar to markaz, followed by the locative suffix
