Niteliindedir

Niteliindedir is a Turkish predicative form used to attribute a quality or characteristic to a subject. It conveys that something belongs to or is defined by a particular quality, and it is most often found in formal, literary, or bureaucratic language.

In usage, niteliindedir tends to emphasize intrinsic or inherent qualities rather than temporary states. It can appear in noun phrases or clauses where the speaker wants to label a subject as belonging to a category defined by a quality. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for simpler predicates such as kalitelidir (is of high quality), but niteliindedir remains common in written Turkish, especially when aiming for a precise or evaluative tone.

Etymology and forms: the construction derives from the noun nitelik (quality, characteristic) and the copular suffix -dir, with the -indedir form functioning as a predicative marker meaning “it is of.” Variants and close forms include niteliğindedir and niteliğindedir, which carry similar meaning but can differ in register or regional preference.

Examples:

- Bu ürün niteliindedir. (This product is of quality.)

- Eser, bilimsel niteliğindedir. (The work is of scientific quality.)

See also: nitelik (quality), nitelendirmek (to qualify or assess), niteliksel (qualitative), Turkish predicative suffixes.

Note: As a relatively formal or specialized construction, niteliindedir may appear more frequently in written Turkish, analytical writing, or evaluative discourse, rather than in casual conversation.
