Eilimlerdendir

Eilimlerdendir is a term that appears in Turkish-language discussions primarily as a hypothetical or rarely attested inflected form rather than a standard dictionary entry. In academic and didactic contexts it is used to illustrate how Turkish suffixes can stack to produce a meaning like “is from the sciences” or “belongs to the sciences.” Because it is not a common headword, its presence is typically limited to examples of morphology rather than ordinary usage.

Etymology and formation: The form would be built from the root ilim (knowledge or science) with the plural suffix -ler, the ablative -den, and the copular suffix -dir. Put together, such a sequence yields a literal sense of “it is from the sciences” or “it belongs to the sciences.” The initial arrangement and spelling, especially the first vowel, may vary in illustrative contexts, and the standard, widely accepted construction in Turkish would normally be ilimlerden biridir.

Usage and context: Because eilimlerdendir is not an established word, it is most often encountered in linguistic explanations, grammar exercises, or discussions of Turkish morphology as a constructed example demonstrating suffix order and the interaction of -ler, -den, and -dir. In ordinary Turkish prose, speakers would typically use ilimlerden biridir to convey the intended meaning.

Related terms: Etymologically related to ilim (science) and bilimi (the science), as well as to standard Turkish expressions that use the copula -dir and the phrase ilimlerden biridir to denote membership within a field of study.
