Sürücülerinden

Sürücülerinden is a Turkish grammatical form derived from sürücü (driver) and the plural suffix -ler, combined with the ablative suffix -den/-dan to yield -lerinden. It means “from among the drivers” and is typically used to indicate a subset or one member chosen from a group of drivers. The form is commonly seen in phrases that identify a particular driver within a group or refer to some of the drivers collectively.

In usage, sürücülerinden is often followed by one or more elements that specify the subset or introduce a specific driver. For example:

- Sürücülerinden biri geldi. (One of the drivers came.)

- Sürücülerinden bazıları toplantıya katıldı. (Some of the drivers attended the meeting.)

This construction emphasizes that the subject is selected from a larger group of drivers rather than the entire group.

Distinctions: Turkish also has the genitive form sürücülerinin, which means “of the drivers” or “the drivers’,” and serves a different grammatical role. Sürücülerinden, by contrast, marks origin or selection from the plural group and is generally used with numerals or quantifiers such as biri (one), bazıları (some), etc.

Etymology and grammar: The base noun sürücü (driver) is pluralized as sürücüler. The ablative plural suffix -lerden/-lerden attaches to this form, yielding sürücülerinden. The exact vowel harmony of the suffix follows Turkish phonology, and the term is fully productive in standard Turkish.
