Elementlerle

Elementlerle is a Turkish grammatical construction formed by adding the instrumental/comitative suffix -le to the plural noun elementler, yielding elementlerle. It translates roughly to “with elements” or “using elements” and is used to indicate accompaniment or the means by which an action is carried out.

Morphology and usage: In Turkish, the comitative/instrumental suffix -le (with) attaches to nouns to express accompaniment or the means of an action. When the noun is plural, the suffix follows the plural form, producing -lerle. Thus elementler + ile becomes elementlerle. This form is common in both technical and general language when referring to multiple elements used together or as tools in a process.

Examples:

- Elementlerle çalışmak means to work with elements.

- Bu deney elementlerle gerçekleştirildi translates as This experiment was carried out with elements.

- Elementlerle etkileşim refers to interactions with elements.

Notes: The form elementlerle exemplifies Turkish vowel harmony and agglutinative morphology, where suffixes attach in a predictable sequence after the base word. While the construction is straightforward, it is most frequently found in contexts involving scientific, technical, or artistic discussions about materials, components, or elemental interactions.
