Anlamlarna

Anlamlarna is a Turkish term used to illustrate a specific agglutinative form in which the noun meaning is combined with plural, possessive, and dative suffixes to convey the idea “to their meanings.” In standard Turkish orthography the relevant form commonly appears as anlamlarına, reflecting vowel harmony and suffix order.

Morphology and usage guidelines explain that anlam and its plural anlamlar form the lexical base meaning. The suffixes added to this base encode grammatical relations: a dative/locative function (to) and a third-person plural possessive (their). The resulting word is used when the indirect object of a verb refers to meanings belonging to a group or entity. For example, Kelimelerin anlamlarına bakıyoruz means “We are looking at the meanings of the words,” illustrating how the form marks possession, plurality, and direction in a single word.

In practice, forms like anlamlarına demonstrate Turkish morphotactics: a sequence of suffixes attached to a stem to encode complex relations without separate words. The exact spelling can vary with vowel harmony and surrounding morphemes, leading to variants such as anlamlara or anlamlarına in different sentences, though anlamlarına is the common standard in explicit “to their meanings” constructions.
