Mozaiklerle

Mozaiklerle is a Turkish instrumental plural form derived from the noun mozaik, meaning mosaics. It denotes that something is done or exists with mosaics, or decorated using mosaics. Grammatically, mozaikler is the plural of mozaik, and -lerle is the instrumental plural suffix, so mozaiklerle literally means “with mosaics.” The construction is commonly used in descriptive language about architecture, art, or interior design, for example “duvarlar mozaiklerle kaplanmış” (the walls are covered with mosaics) or “mozaiklerle süslü tavanlar” (ceilings decorated with mosaics).

Etymology and usage context: The Turkish word mozaik is borrowed from European languages, with likely origins in Italian mosaico or French mosaïque, tracing back to Latin mosaicus and ultimately Greek roots. In Turkish, mozaikler appears in both historical and contemporary texts to refer to the technique or material of mosaic art.

Cultural and artistic context: Mosaic art has a long presence in the region, from Byzantine mosaics in historic churches to later Ottoman and Turkish decorative traditions that incorporate tilework and mosaic patterns. In modern usage, mozaiklerle appears in descriptions of public art, architectural decoration, restoration projects, and craft practices that emphasize the mosaic medium.

Notes on usage: Use mozaiklerle when describing means or materials in plural form. It commonly accompanies adjectives or verbs related to decoration, coverage, or ornamentation, such as kaplanmış, süslü, or kullanılan.
