Asitlerden

Asitlerden is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “from acids.” It is the ablative form of the plural noun asit (acid). In Turkish, a noun can take a plural suffix -ler/-lar and an ablative suffix -den/-dan; when combined, they merge to -lerden or -lardan. Because the last vowel of asitler is i (a front vowel), the appropriate combination is asitlerden, i.e., den with front-vowel harmony.

Usage and meaning: Asitlerden is used to indicate origin, source, or derivation in noun phrases and clauses. It commonly appears in scientific or technical Turkish to describe materials, reactions, or processes that involve acids.

Examples:

- asitlerden elde edilen çözelti (a solution obtained from acids)

- asitlerden türetilen tuzlar (salts derived from acids)

- Bu reaksiyon asitlerden elde edilen maddelerle olur (This reaction involves substances obtained from acids)

Notes: The form asitlerden reflects Turkish vowel harmony and morpheme order: plural suffix -ler followed by ablative suffix -den, merged as -lerden. The choice between -den and -dan depends on the last vowel of the stem (in this case, i, a front vowel, yielding -den). Asitlerden functions as a postpositional element within noun phrases and does not stand alone as a lexical item.
