Sentezlerde

Sentezlerde is a Turkish grammatical form that functions as the locative plural of the noun sentez, meaning syntheses or synthesis processes. It is used when referring to multiple syntheses in a context such as scientific discussions, reports, and academic writing.

Morphology and usage in Turkish: the base noun sentez forms the plural sentezler, and the locative suffix -de attaches to the plural to form sentezlerden? No—in Turkish the plural suffix -ler is added to create sentezler, and the locative suffix -de is then appended to yield sentezlerde. The resulting form expresses “in the syntheses” or “in these syntheses,” with vowel harmony producing the final -lerde. This pattern illustrates how Turkish combines nominal roots with sequential suffixes to convey number and case.

Common contexts: sentezlerde appears frequently in scientific texts, especially chemistry, pharmacology, and materials science, where discussions revolve around multiple synthesis routes, steps, or experiments. It can also appear in broader academic writing when comparing different synthesis approaches or reporting results across several syntheses.

Examples:

- Bu sentezlerde kullanılan katalizörler önemli bir rol oynadı. (The catalysts used in these syntheses played an important role.)

- Sentezlerde elde edilen yan ürünler analiz edildi. (The byproducts obtained in the syntheses were analyzed.)

Etymology and related terms: sentez is a loanword in Turkish, derived from the French synthèse and related to the English synthesis, reflecting its scientific usage. Related terms include sentez (synthesis) and suffix-related topics in Turkish grammar, such as plural and locative forms.
