tezgahlarnda

Tezgahlarında is a Turkish locative phrase that means “in their stalls” or “at their counters.” It is formed from tezgah, meaning a counter, stall, or workbench, with the plural suffix -lar to make tezgahlar, then the third-person plural possessive -ları to yield tezgahları (“their counters”), and finally the locative suffix -nda (harmonized as -nda/-nde) to indicate location: tezgahlarının meaning “their counters,” and tezgahlarında meaning “in their counters.” The standard spelling for the locative with possessive is tezgahlarında.

Morphology and usage: Turkish constructs such phrases by attaching suffixes in a fixed order—plural, possessive, then locative. For tezgahlar, this results in tezgahları (their counters) and tezgahlarında (in their counters). The phrase can describe where actions take place, often in contexts about markets, shops, or workshops. For example: Ürünler tezgahlarında sergileniyordu. (The products were displayed at their counters.) The same idea can be expressed with other possessives, such as tezgahlarınızda (in your counters) or tezgahlarında (in their counters), depending on subject ownership.

Contexts and semantics: tezgahlarında frequently appears in narratives about markets, craft stalls, or retail settings, where location relative to a vendor’s counters is relevant. Because it reflects possession and location, understanding its form requires awareness of Turkish suffix order and vowel harmony.
