Kollardan

Kollardan is a Turkish ablative plural form of the noun kol, which means arm or limb. It is created by first forming the plural kollar (arms) with the suffix -lar, and then adding the ablative suffix -dan to the plural, yielding kollardan. The form follows standard Turkish vowel harmony and suffixation rules.

In usage, kollardan serves to indicate origin, source, or movement away from a plural set of arms or limbs. It can be used in literal contexts, such as referring to one arm among several, for example: Kollardan biri kırıldı. (One of the arms broke.) It can also appear in more extended phrases where kollardan stands for a collective set of arms or branches within a larger context, such as kollardan gelen haberler (reports from the arms/units), depending on the discourse.

Grammatically, kollardan behaves like a standard noun plural with an ablative case ending. Its interpretation relies on context, and the underlying reference is typically determined by what the speaker or writer intends to portray as the source or point of origin. As a common inflected form, kollardan is frequently encountered in everyday Turkish, in literature, and in linguistic descriptions of Turkish morphology.
