Hizmetlerdir

Hizmetlerdir is a Turkish predicative form built from the noun hizmet (service) with the plural suffix -ler to form hizmetler (services) and the copular suffix -dir to produce the sentence meaning "they are services" or "these are services." It is not a stand-alone noun but a verb-like suffixal construction used to assign identity or classification to a subject.

In Turkish grammar, -dir is a copula suffix that marks a declarative predication in formal or written contexts. When attached to hizmetler, the entire form hizmetlerdir serves to state that the referenced items are services. The subject who is being described is provided by the surrounding sentence; the form itself does not supply a specific subject.

Usage and context tend to be formal. Hizmetlerdir appears more often in dictionaries, glossaries, definitions, encyclopedic prose, legal or technical texts, and explicit classificatory statements. In everyday spoken Turkish, speakers are more likely to use simple noun phrases like hizmetler or a full sentence with a standard finite verb, such as Bu hizmetlerdir in specialized or emphatic contexts.

Etymology and related forms: the base hizmet means service; -ler forms the plural hizmetler; -dir is a copula indicating identity or classification. Related forms include hizmetlerin (of the services) and hizmetler gibi nominal compounds, but hizmetlerdir specifically functions as a predicative suffix in a declarative sentence.

Examples:

- Sözlükte, hizmetlerdir: toplumun belirli ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan faaliyetler olarak tanımlanır.

- Bu alanlar çeşitli hizmetlerdir.

- Bu gruplar hizmetlerdir olarak sınıflandırılır.
