Depremden

Depremden is the ablative form of the Turkish noun deprem, meaning "earthquake." The ablative suffix -den/-dan marks origin or source, and its form follows vowel harmony. Since deprem ends with the front vowel e, the proper suffix is -den, yielding depremden. In usage, depremden can function as a prepositional phrase indicating origin, cause, or point of departure.

In common usage, depremden expresses origin or causal relation. It appears in phrases such as depremden kaynaklanan zarar (damage caused by the earthquake) or depremden dolayı/depremden ötürü (due to the earthquake). It can also be combined with derece or zaman expressions, for example depremden sonra (after the earthquake), to situate events in time relative to the earthquake.

Examples of usage include: Depremden kaynaklanan zararlar inceleniyor. Depremden dolayı binlerce kişi evsiz kaldı. Depremden sonra altyapı çalışmaları hızlandı. Depremden kaçanlar geçici barınaklara yönlendirildi. These constructions illustrate how depremden signals both a physical or temporal relation to the event and a causal connection in discourse.

Related terms include deprem (earthquake) itself, depremle ilgili (related to earthquakes), and depremden ötürü/depremden dolayı (due to the earthquake), as well as deprem sonrası (post-earthquake). Depremden is primarily a grammatical form used in formal and descriptive contexts to convey origin or cause.
