Topluluklarla

Topluluklarla is a Turkish grammatical form meaning “with communities.” It is the instrumental plural form of topluluk (community), produced by adding the plural suffix -lar to form topluluklar and then the instrumental suffix -la to express accompaniment or association. The result, topluluklarla, is used to denote interaction, collaboration, or engagement that involves multiple communities.

In usage, topluluklarla indicates that actions or relations are conducted with or alongside communities, rather than toward them or within a single community. The construction is common in formal and semi-formal Turkish, especially in fields such as development, public policy, sociology, journalism, and civil society discourse. It helps specify the experiential subject as a collaboration or dialogue with several communities.

Examples:

- Projede topluluklarla iş birliği yapıldı. (The project involved collaboration with communities.)

- Belediyenin programı topluluklarla iletişim kurmayı hedefliyor. (The municipality’s program aims to communicate with communities.)

- Topluluklarla görüşmeler, politika geliştirmede önemli bir adım olarak değerlendirildi. (Meetings with communities were regarded as an important step in policy development.)

Related forms include toplulukla (with a community, singular) and topluluklar (communities). The form topluluklarla is defined by Turkish suffix harmony and agglutinative structure, and it commonly appears in discussions of participatory approaches, social inclusion, and collaborative initiatives.
