ülkelere

Ülkelere is the Turkish dative plural form of ülke, meaning “to the countries.” It is used to express direction toward or to indicate a beneficiary or recipient among multiple countries.

Morphology and grammar: Turkish forms use suffixes strung onto the noun. For ülkeler (countries) plus the dative suffix, the result is ülkelere. The order is base noun + plural suffix (-ler) + dative suffix (-e), with vowel harmony guiding the exact vowel patterns. Ülkelere therefore denotes movement toward or toward the benefit of more than one country.

Usage: Ülkelere commonly appears in sentences about aid, policy, communications, or actions directed at multiple nations. Examples include: “Ülkelere yardım gönderdiler” (They sent aid to the countries) and “Ülkelere yönelik projeler başlatıldı” (Projects aimed at the countries were launched). It also occurs in phrases like “ülkelere yönelik” to describe actions or policies directed at the countries.

See also: Related Turkish forms include ülke (singular) and ülkeler (plural). The Turkish case system uses suffixes rather than prepositional phrases to mark direction, recipient, and other grammatical relationships, making forms like ülkelere integral for expressing “to the countries” in concise, idiomatic Turkish.
