Dative Case in Sakha (Yakut) Turkic

Abstract

When the Sakha Turkic is evaluated in terms of dative, some features stand out. There is no separate suffix for the location case in Sakha Turkic, but the dative case suffix is used for the location case. The suffix {+DA} in common Turkic is used as part (partitive) case. The use of case suffixes interchangeably appears from time to time in historical and contemporary Turkic dialects. Sakha Turkic presents a different feature by using the same suffix systematically for both dative and locative. In Sakha Turkic, the suffix {+KA} is generally used for the case of dative and locative. It is seen that this suffix differs in pronoun conjugation. Apart from that, {+GAr~+Ar} suffix appears in words that have a possessive suffix for this case. Both suffixes appear as stereotypes within some words used such as adverbs and adverbs. The use of the dative suffix together with some prepositions in Sakha Turkic is also noteworthy. The state of dative appears in three basic functions in Sakha Turkic: time, place and direction.
