Cisimlerden

Cisimlerden is a Turkish ablative plural form derived from the noun cisim, meaning bodies or objects. It literally translates as “from the bodies/objects” and is used to indicate origin, source, or separation from multiple objects.

Morphology and usage notes: The base noun cisim takes the plural suffix -ler to form cisimler, meaning “bodies” or “objects.” The ablative suffix -den (or -dan, depending on vowel harmony) is then attached, yielding cisimlerden. Since cisim ends with the front vowel i, the preferred ablative form is -den, so the full form is cisimlerden. This construction is common in scientific, astronomical, and everyday Turkish when specifying data or signals that originate from several objects.

Examples of usage: Cisimlerden elde edilen veriler inceleniyor. Bu cihaz, cisimlerden gelen sinyalleri kaydeder. Gözlemsel çalışmada, cisimlerden gelen ışık ölçümleri kullanıldı. These examples show how cisimlerden functions as a source indicator for plural objects in sentences.

Etymology and context: The word cisim comes from Turkish, ultimately reflecting the concept of a body or object, and is used across disciplines to refer to physical bodies, celestial bodies, or any discrete objects. The plural and ablative suffixes illustrate Turkish’s agglutinative morphology, where a sequence of suffixes modifies the base noun to convey number, case, and relation.
