askerleri
Askérleri is a Turkish term that functions as an inflected form of the noun asker, meaning soldier. It is not a separate lexical entry but a result of Turkish suffixation: the base word asker (soldier) takes the plural suffix -ler to form askerler (soldiers), and the accusative suffix -i is appended to form askerleri. In Turkish, word formation is agglutinative, so the combination asker + ler + i yields askerleri, which typically means “the soldiers” as a definite direct object in a sentence.
Morphology and usage: The form askerleri appears when the plural and accusative suffixes are both present.
Examples can illustrate its function. Askerleri gördüm means “I saw the soldiers.” Askerleri seviyorum can be
