Dilimleridir

Dilimleridir is a Turkish predicative form formed from the noun dilim meaning slice or segment, followed by the plural suffix -ler and the emphatic copular suffix -dir. The combination yields a single word that expresses a nominal predicate: it means “they are slices” or “these are slices,” depending on context. Morphologically, the word can be analyzed as dilim + ler + dir, illustrating Turkish agglutinative morphology where multiple suffixes attach to a base word.

In terms of usage, dilimleridir is primarily found in formal, descriptive, or dictionary-like language rather than everyday speech. It serves to identify or classify a set of items as belonging to the category of slices. The -dir suffix adds emphasis or declarative force, which is common in expository Turkish prose.

Examples of usage would typically occur in sentences that establish identity or classification, such as: Bu parçalar dilimlerdir. (These pieces are slices.) The form can appear in explanations, glossaries, or definitional passages where precise categorization is required.

Notes and related forms: Dilim as a root is a common Turkish noun; -ler is the standard plural suffix; -dir is an emphatic copular suffix used to state that something is what is being described. The overall construction demonstrates typical Turkish predicative noun phrases, where a subject and a noun in predicate form are linked by a suffix-based copula.
