Çizimdeki

Çizimdeki is a Turkish attributive form formed from the noun çizim (drawing) plus the locative suffix -de and the relative particle -ki. The resulting expression functions as a determiner-like adjective meaning “the one in the drawing” or “in the drawing,” and it is used to modify the noun that follows.

In Turkish, -ki serves as a relative marker that identifies a referent in relation to a described scene, while -de marks location. The combination Çizimdeki thus denotes an entity located within the drawing and links it to the noun it modifies. The form is typically placed directly before the noun it describes, as in Çizimdeki kadın (the woman in the drawing) or Çizimdeki figürler (the figures in the drawing).

Usage of Çizimdeki is common in discussions of visual art, illustration, or descriptive narration where it is necessary to specify which character or object is being referred to within an image. It can often be found in artistic critique, research on drawings, or storytelling that involves depicted scenes.

Examples include: Çizimdeki figürler dikkat çekiyor. (The figures in the drawing attract attention.) Çizimdeki kadın bana bakıyor. (The woman in the drawing is looking at me.)

Relation to other forms is similar to other -deki constructions in Turkish, such as evdeki köpek (the dog in the house) or odadaki çocuk (the child in the room), illustrating how location and a relative reference combine to identify elements within a depicted context.
