Use Bu tren hangi perondan kalkıyor? to ask which platform this train leaves from.

The idea

Hangi perondan? means from which platform? The ablative ending -dan marks the departure point. Kalkıyor can mean a train or bus is departing. An answer such as ikinci perondan means from the second platform; peron nerede? instead asks where the platform is.

Examples

  • Bu tren hangi perondan kalkıyor?Which platform does this train leave from?
  • Otobüs hangi perondan kalkıyor?Which platform does the bus leave from?

Watch out

Do not confuse perondan, from the platform, with peron nerede?, where is the platform? The first asks about a departure point; the second asks for its location.
