Alanlarla
Alanlarla is a Turkish postpositional form that conveys “with the fields/areas” or “in cooperation with the fields/areas.” It derives from alan, meaning field or area, which takes the plural suffix -lar to become alanlar, and then the instrumental/comitative suffix -la/-lerle, which, after a plural noun, forms alanlarla. The result is used to indicate accompaniment, collaboration, or association with multiple domains and appears in contexts such as planning, research, and cross‑domain work.
In Turkish, alanlarla functions as a postposition rather than a separate preposition. It often appears in phrases
- Bu proje alanlarla koordineli yürütülüyor. (This project is carried out in coordination with the fields.)
- Çalışma alanlarıyla ilgili kararlar bugün açıklandı. (Decisions related to the working areas were announced today.)
- Farklı alanlarla iletişim kurmak, proje yönetiminin temelidir. (Communicating with different fields is fundamental to project management.)
Etymology and morphology note: alan + lar (plural) + ile/la (instrumental) leads to alanlarla; Turkish suffix harmony and
