Bedelinde

Bedelinde is a Turkish linguistic term describing the locative form of the noun bedel, which means price or value. The expression conveys a relation to value and is used to indicate valuation, exchange, or worth in a sentence. In Turkish morphology, bedeli means “its price” (bedel + possessive suffix -i), and the locative suffix -nde yields bedelinde, meaning “in/at its price” or “to the value.” The construction is a postpositional phrase that attaches to a noun to specify a price-related state or condition.

Etymology and form: The base bedel denotes price, value, or substitution. By adding the possessive suffix, the form becomes bedeli (its price). Adding the locative suffix -nde produces bedelinde, the form used to express a relation to value within a clause. This combination reflects how Turkish builds value-related expressions through suffixation and postpositions.

Usage and register: Bedelinde appears mainly in formal, literary, or historical Turkish and is relatively rare in everyday speech. It is typically encountered in contexts discussing valuation, compensation, or exchange, rather than in common, colloquial usage. Because it is a specialized construction, it is more likely to be found in older documents, legal language, or scholarly writing about Turkish grammar or terminology.
