Operasyonlarda

Operasyonlarda is a Turkish word formed from the noun operasyon (operation) with the plural suffix -lar and the locative case suffix -da, resulting in operasyonlar + da = operasyonlarda. It means “in the operations” or “during the operations” and is used to indicate location or time within a set of operations.

The phrase functions as a postpositional element in Turkish sentences, describing actions, events, or conditions that occur inside or during several operations. It reflects vowel harmony: the locative suffix takes the form -da, -de, -ta, or -te depending on the preceding vowels; in operasyonlar, the locative becomes -da, yielding operasyonlarda. This form can appear in public discourse, military reporting, medical or police contexts, and any text referring to multiple ongoing activities.

Examples include: “Operasyonlarda beklenmedik direnişle karşılaşıldı.” (During the operations, unexpected resistance was encountered.) “Operasyonlarda elde edilen veriler analiz edildi.” (The data obtained during the operations were analyzed.) In Turkish, similar constructions can be formed with other plurals and locatives to describe timing or location within various sets of activities.

Etymology: operasyon is a loanword adopted into Turkish from French or other Western languages, with Turkish plural and case endings applied to produce operasyonlar and operasyonlarda. Related forms include operasyonlar (operations) and operasyonlarda (in the operations).
