Tarihlerde

Tarihlerde is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “in the dates” or “on the dates.” It is the locative plural form of tarih (date) and is used to indicate that an action or event occurs at or during specific dates.

Morphology and form: The base noun is tarih. The plural is tarihler, and the locative suffix -de is added to form tarihlerde. Turkish vowel harmony governs the suffixes, so the word remains tarihlerde rather than tarihlerda. The singular locative is tarihte (on the date), while tarihlerde refers to multiple dates.

Usage: Tarihlerde appears in official, scheduling, and reporting contexts to specify timing. It commonly collocates with adjectives or participles such as belirlenen (the specified) or belirtilen (the stated). Examples include phrases like “belirlenen tarihlerde” (on the specified dates) and “tarihlerdeki değişiklikler” (changes in the dates). It can also be used with date ranges, as in “15 Mart’tan 20 Nisan’a kadar olan tarihlerde” (on the dates from March 15 to April 20).

Notes: Tarihlerde functions as a temporal locative phrase, not a standalone noun. It helps anchor actions to a calendar period and is widely found in administrative documents, event announcements, and schedules. The form illustrates Turkish grammar’s combination of plurality and location in time, with tarihte and tarihlerde as common related forms.
