örneklerdir

Örneklerdir is a Turkish predicative form built from örnek (example) with the plural suffix -ler and the copula -dir. It conveys the idea “they are examples” or “these are examples.” As a whole, it is not a standalone lexical item as much as a grammatical form used to state identity or classification in a sentence.

Etymology and structure: örnek + -ler (plural) yields örnekler (examples), and adding the copula -dir turns the noun phrase into a predicate, yielding örneklerdir. The -dir copula is used for assertion and emphasis in Turkish, and its form changes with vowel harmony in other contexts, but örneklerdir is the standard written form here.

Usage: Örneklerdir typically appears as a predicate in a clause where the subject is given or understood. For example, Bu belgeler örneklerdir means “These documents are examples.” It can also function in headings or labels to indicate a set that serves as examples, where the subject is implicit: Örneklerdir could stand alone to introduce an illustrative section in a text.

Notes: The expression carries a formal or written tone and is less common in casual spoken Turkish, where speakers might use simpler constructions like Bu belgeler örneklerdir or Bu belgeler örneklerdir gibi ifadeler. Its meaning relies on context and the preceding subject.
