Resimlerde

Resimlerde, Turkish grammar means the plural locative form of the noun resim, which means image, picture or painting. The word thus translates roughly to “in the pictures” or “in the paintings.” It is used to describe where something is depicted or to talk about content shown across multiple images or artworks.

Morphology and formation: The form resimlerde is created by adding the plural suffix -ler to resim, yielding resimler, and then the locative suffix -de. Turkish vowel harmony shapes the chosen forms, and the result is resimlerle → resimlerde in ordinary usage. The word functions as a locative expression referring to the space or context within the pictures themselves.

Usage: Resimlerde is commonly employed in art history, criticism, journalism, and academic writing to discuss what is depicted across a set of images. For example, "Resimlerde ışık ve gölge kompozisyonun odak noktasıdır" highlights the role of light and shadow in the pictures. Another example: "Bu seride resimlerde doğa teması sık işlenir," which points to recurring motifs across works. The form contrasts with resimde (in the picture, singular) and resimlerden (from the pictures) and other related forms, illustrating how Turkish uses suffixes to convey location and quantity.

Notes: Resimlerde refers specifically to multiple images or paintings. When speaking about a single image, the appropriate form is resimde. In textual use, resimlerde often appears in descriptive passages about art collections, exhibitions, or visual analysis, and it can be combined with other suffixes to form phrases such as resimlerdeki (in the pictures’ [depicted elements]) or resimlerdeki figürler (the figures in the pictures).
