Segmentlere

Segmentlere is a Turkish word that functions as the dative plural form of the noun segment, a loanword from English. The base plural form is segmentler (segments); when the dative suffix -e is added to the plural, the result is segmentlere, meaning “to the segments” or “toward the segments.” This form illustrates Turkish agglutinative structure and vowel harmony, as the suffixes attach to the plural base.

In usage, segmentlere appears in contexts such as marketing, data analysis, linguistics, and design, where actions or references are directed toward specific segments. Typical constructions include segmentlere yönelik (aimed at the segments) and segmentlere göre (according to the segments). For example: “Segmentlere yönelik analiz yapılıyor” and “Pazarlama stratejileri segmentlere göre uyarlanır.” These phrases show how the dative plural connects with modifiers and complement terms to express targeting, direction, or comparison with segments.

Etymology and grammar notes: segment is a loanword adopted into Turkish from English, with Turkish plural and case suffixes applied: segmentler (plural) and segmentlere (dative plural). The form reflects standard Turkish suffixation rather than a separate lexical item. Segmentlere thus functions as a grammatical tool to discuss actions, analyses, or decisions that involve multiple segments or groups within a larger set.
