setindeki

Setindeki is a Turkish word-form that functions as a locative-relativative construction. It generally means “the one(s) in the set” or, more broadly, “the items contained in a set.” The phrase is used to refer to elements of a collection, whether the set is a card deck, a data set, a film set, or any other grouped item.

Morphology and usage are straightforward in Turkish grammar. It combines the noun set with the locative suffix -de (in/inside) and the relative suffix -ki, producing forms such as setdeki or setindeki. The result is a noun phrase that can modify another head noun: for example, setindeki kartlar means “the cards in the set,” while setdeki ekip means “the crew on the set.” The exact spelling can vary with phonological context, but the meaning remains the same: a reference to elements located within the set.

Common examples illustrate its use. Setindeki kartlar eksikti means “The cards in the set were missing.” Setindeki veriler güvenilir değil translates to “The data in the dataset are not reliable.” In film or stage contexts, Setindeki ekip hızlı çalışıyor conveys “The crew on the set is working quickly.”

Notes and related forms: setindeki is part of a broader Turkish pattern where the locative -de combines with the relative -ki to form phrases like evdeki, odadaki, or kapıdaki. This construction is productive for indicating containment while introducing a reference to specific elements within a broader noun phrase.
