Türkçesiyle

Türkçesiyle is a Turkish expression used to indicate or refer to the Turkish version of something, such as a text, phrase, or term. It is formed from Türkçe (the Turkish language) plus the possessive suffix -si, meaning “its Turkish,” and the instrumental suffix -yle, meaning “with” or “in the form of.” The literal sense is “with its Turkish [version]” and it is often translated as “in Turkish” or “in its Turkish version.”

Etymology and form: Türkçe denotes the Turkish language. The suffix -si attaches to form Türkçesi, meaning “the Turkish version” or “the Turkish one.” The suffix -yle (or -yla, depending on phonological harmony) adds the instrumental meaning of “with” or “in the form of.” When combined, Türkçesiyle yields a phrase that functions as an adverbial or prepositional construction indicating Turkish language presentation.

Usage: The expression is commonly employed in written Turkish to distinguish or compare a Turkish version with versions in other languages, or to indicate that a text, translation, or term is being discussed in Turkish. It often appears in sentences that frame a contrast or an edition note, such as “Bu metnin İngilizcesi ve Türkçesiyle karşılaştırıldığında…” (When compared with the English and Turkish versions of this text…) or “Türkçesiyle yazılmış versiyon…”. It is most frequent in scholarly, editorial, or translation-related contexts.

Notes: Türkçesiyle does not stand alone as a noun; it functions within a sentence to modify or specify the language of a given form. Its use helps clarify linguistic scope when multiple language versions exist.
