Adresleri

Adresleri is a Turkish form built from adres (address) and is used to refer to locations used for mail, delivery, or contact. The word encompasses both physical mailing addresses and broader contact addresses, such as email or web addresses in everyday language. In Turkish, adresleri specifically encodes plural possession or object form: adresler means addresses (plural), and adresleri can mean their addresses when the plural noun is possessed by a third party. This reflects Turkish suffixal harmony, where suffixes attach to a stem and change according to number and person.

Etymology and forms: adres is borrowed from a French or European source meaning address or location. Turkish then creates multiple inflected forms: adres, adresler (addresses), adresi (his/her/its address), adresiniz (your address), adresleri (their addresses), and so on. The same stem can combine with various suffixes to express possession, definiteness, case, or plurality, illustrating the agglutinative nature of Turkish grammar.

Usage in Turkish contexts: in everyday language, addresses are written with components such as il (province), ilçe (district), mahalle (neighborhood), cadde or sokak (street), bina no (building number), daire no (apartment number), and posta kodu (postal code). This structure helps ensure mail delivery and service provisioning. In computing and digital contexts, adresleri can refer to e-posta adresi (email address), web adresi (URL), or IP adresi (IP address), with appropriate prefixes or qualifiers.
