Konumuyla

Konumuyla is a Turkish term that denotes “with its position” and is formed from the noun konum (location, position) plus the third-person possessive suffix -u and the instrumental suffix -yla (with). The combination yields a form that functions as an adverbial expression indicating that a statement or assessment is based on or related to the object's location. In Turkish grammar, konumuyla is treated as a cliticized construction rather than a standalone lexical item.

Morphology and function: konum (root) + -u (third-person possessive suffix) gives konumu (its position). The instrumental suffix -yla (with) is appended to produce konumuyla, with the suffixes adapting to vowel harmony. The resulting form can modify verbs or adjectives or serve to introduce a basis for a claim, similar to phrases meaning “due to its position” or “as a function of its location.”

Usage: konumuyla is used to ground a statement in the location or arrangement of an object or entity. It often appears in descriptions, evaluations, or comparisons where location is a determining factor. Examples include statements where a property or advantage is attributed to the entity’s position: “Bu otel konumuyla öne çıkıyor” (This hotel stands out because of its location), or “Kriterler konumuyla belirleniyor” (The criteria are determined by the location).
