üzere

üzere is a Turkish suffix that functions as a postposition or a verbal suffix. As a postposition, it indicates purpose, intention, or a state of being about to do something. When used with a noun, it often translates to "in order to," "for the purpose of," or "about to." For example, "Kitap okumak üzere" means "in order to read a book." It can also denote a situation where something is in the process of happening or is on the verge of occurring, such as "İş bitmek üzere," meaning "The work is about to be finished."

As a verbal suffix, üzere can be attached to the infinitive form of a verb to express a future action or a planned event. It often implies that the action is intended or expected to happen. For instance, "Yarın Ankara'ya gitmek üzereyim" translates to "I am going to Ankara tomorrow" or "I intend to go to Ankara tomorrow." The suffix carries a sense of anticipation or preparation.

In certain contexts, özellikle when followed by a noun, üzere can also imply a general category or a state of being. For example, "insanlar üzere" might refer to "among people" or "in terms of people." However, its primary and most common uses relate to purpose and imminent action. The precise meaning can be determined by the surrounding words and the overall sentence structure.
