Kapsüllerdir

Kapsüllerdir is a Turkish predicative form that translates to “they are capsules.” It is formed from the noun kapsül (capsule) with the plural suffix -ler, plus the copular suffix -dir, which marks a declarative assertion in the present tense. In Turkish, the copula is typically expressed through suffixes, and -dir adds emphasis or formality to the statement.

Etymology and form: kapsül means capsule, a term used across science, medicine, and everyday language. The plural form kapsüller means “capsules.” The suffix -dir is a third-person singular copula in declarative sentences, and when attached to a plural noun it yields a full sentence meaning “they are …” Alternatively, the sentence can appear with other elements, for example: Bunlar kapsüllerdir (These are capsules).

Usage: Kapsüllerdir is most common in formal, instructional, or definitional contexts where a precise identification is required. It is more emphatic than the bare nominal sentence kapsüller; in everyday speech, Turkish often omits the copula, simply saying kapsüller. The form can appear in labels, scientific descriptions, diagrams, and written explanations to clearly identify a group of objects as capsules.

Notes: The word kapsül has Latin/French roots (cap- capsule), reflecting its broader use in science and medicine. While kapsüllerdir is correct and intelligible, speakers may choose simpler constructions depending on register and emphasis.
