Teknolojiye

TeKnolojiye is the dative form of the Turkish noun teknol­oji, meaning technology. In Turkish, the suffix -ye marks the indirect object or the direction of an action, so teknolojiye is used when something is directed toward technology or when technology is the beneficiary or object of a verb phrase. It appears in sentences such as teknolojiye yatırım yapmak (to invest in technology) or teknolojiye olan ilgi giderek artıyor (the interest in technology is increasing). The form is common in formal, technical, and policy-related writing as well as everyday speech when technology is the focus of discussion.

Etymology: teknol­oji is a Turkish loanword derived from the French technologie, which itself comes from the Greek techne (art, craft) and logos (study, discourse). The dative suffix -ye is a standard Turkish grammatical marker used to indicate direction toward or for a noun. When attaching -ye to teknol­oji, the result is teknolojiye, a form that fits Turkish vowel harmony and syntax rules.

Usage notes: In Turkish, teknoloji refers to the broad field of techniques, methods, and inventions that enable production, communication, and computation, including information technology and digital infrastructure. The dative form teknolojiye is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical variant used in sentences to indicate “to technology” or “for technology.” It is widely found in academic writing, media coverage of tech policy, business discussions, and discourse on innovation and modernization.
