Takvimlerle

Takvimlerle is a Turkish grammatical form built from takvim (calendar) plus the plural suffix -ler and the instrumental suffix -le. The combination expresses “with calendars” or “using calendars” and is used to indicate that an action is performed through or by means of calendars. In Turkish, takvim takes the plural -ler to become takvimler, and the instrumental -le attaches after the plural, resulting in takvimlerle. The form is typically used with verbs that describe planning, organizing, or dating activities.

Etymology and morphology: takvim is a loanword from Arabic taqwīm (تقويم), meaning calendar or dating. Through Turkish phonology and suffixation, takvim becomes takvimler in the plural, and adding the instrumental suffix yields takvimlerle. The construction demonstrates Turkish agglutinative morphology and vowel harmony, producing the familiar -lerle at the end of the word.

Usage notes: Takvimlerle is used when the means or method involves calendars in a plural sense. It can refer to objects or actions performed with calendars, such as scheduling or planning. It typically appears with verbs like planlamak (to plan), çalışmak (to work), or düzenlemek (to organize).

Examples:

- Projeyi takvimlerle planladık. — We planned the project using calendars.

- Takvimlerle çalışmak zaman yönetimini kolaylaştırır. — Working with calendars eases time management.

- Takvimlerle hazırlanan program daha net görünüyor. — The schedule prepared with calendars looks clearer.
