OK, I understand that 'da' ('ta') etc. mean on/in/at (Kıbrıs'ta = in Cyprus), but what is 'daki'/'taki'? Obviously it must mean 'in', but the final 'ki' just confuses me. Here's just one of the recent contexts I've seen it in:

"KKTC'li dört kardeş, ailelerinin Güney Kıbrıs'taki 15 dönüm bağ ile 15 dükkanlı iş hanının kendilerine iadesi, uğradıkları maddi ve manevi zararın karşılanması için Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesine (AİHM) başvurdu. Kardeşler, başvurunun “kabul edilebilirlik” incelemesini geçmesi halinde en az 7 milyon Avroluk maddi ve manevi tazminat davası açacak."

Help anyone?

Teşekkür ederim.

Leon.

very similar...just a grammatical technicality I think.

'da - in, on, at
'daki - the ones in, on, at (I think used in plural situations)
