Oyuncular

Oyuncular is a Turkish plural noun with the general meaning of “players.” In everyday Turkish, it can refer to people who participate in a game or sport, as well as to actors in theatre, film, or television. The term derives from oyun (game, play) plus the agentive suffix -cu, yielding a sense of “one who plays.” In contemporary usage, the exact sense is determined by context.

In sports and games, oyuncular denotes the participants or members of a team, such as "Takımın oyuncuları saha çıktı" (The team’s players took the field). In the performing arts, it refers to the actors or cast members of a production, for example "Filmin ana oyuncuları" (the film’s principal actors) or "oyuncular kadrosu" (the cast).

Grammatical notes: oyuncular is the nominative plural; possessive and object forms follow standard Turkish grammar. Examples include oyuncuların (the players’), oyunculara (to the players), and oyuncuları (the players as a direct object). The singular form is oyuncu, and related terms include oyuncalık (play-related activity) and oyunculuk (acting, the profession or craft of acting).
