English term or phrase: of
Is there an equivalent of the English preposition "of" in Turkish language?
For example, how should be translated the following sentence: "page 8 of 10"?

Thank you!

Explanation:
There is no equivalent for ‘of’ in Turkish. In your case we use ‘/‘:

page 8 of 10

Explanation:
The meaning of the preposition -of- will be translated depending on the context actually. It mainly signifies property but here you cannot give the property meaning for a page, so the best solution is to use /, which I do so all the time.
