Kendileriyle

Kendileriyle is a Turkish phrase meaning with themselves. It combines kendileri, the third-person plural reflexive pronoun meaning themselves, with the instrumental/comitative suffix -yle, which marks accompaniment or association. The combination expresses being in the company of or together with the group referred to by kendileri.

In standard usage, kendileriyle functions as a prepositional phrase indicating that actions are carried out with that group rather than with others. It can appear in sentences describing internal discussion or cooperation within a group. For example, a sentence like Toplantıda kendileriyle tartıştılar can be rendered as they discussed among themselves in the meeting. The phrase can also describe collaborative work conducted internally, such as Projeyi kendileriyle yürütüyorlar, meaning they are carrying out the project with themselves or within their own group.

Kendileriyle is part of Turkish grammar that reflects reflexivity and accompaniment, and it demonstrates how pronouns combine with postpositional suffixes to indicate social relation and method of action. It is similarly formed to other kendi- forms that attach plural or descriptive endings, and its exact meaning may shift slightly with context, in particular regarding whether the emphasis is on internal deliberation, joint action, or mutual engagement within a group.

Culturally, kendileriyle may appear in Turkish literature or media as a phrasing that emphasizes internal dynamics or collective self-reference. It is not a fixed title or name in itself, but a common grammatical construction that can appear in various contexts to convey “with themselves.” See also Turkish grammar, reflexive pronouns kendisi and kendileri, and the instrumental suffix -yle.
