asrlardan

Asrlardan is a Turkish grammatical form derived from the noun asır, meaning century. In standard Turkish, the form appears as asırlardan, the result of combining the plural suffix -lar/-ler to asır to make asırlar (the centuries) and the ablative suffix -dan/-den to indicate origin or source. The overall meaning depends on context and is used to express something coming from or existing since past centuries. Informally or in transliteration, you may see the form written as asrlardan, but the correct Turkish spelling is asırlardan.

Usage and meaning: Asırlardan signals origin, source, or a long temporal distance from the past. It is commonly employed in phrases that indicate something has carried through many years or has survived from earlier times. The phrase often appears with additional particles, such as beri or bu yana, to express duration or continuity.

Examples:

- Bu yapı asırlardan beri ayakta duruyor. (This structure has stood for centuries.)

- Asırlardan kalan bir yazıt arkeolojik değer taşır. (An inscription preserved from centuries past carries archaeological value.)

Notes: Asırlardan is the ablative plural form of asır; it is part of Turkish noun declension and reflects Turkish agglutinative morphology and vowel harmony. It is typically used in formal or written Turkish, especially in historical or descriptive contexts, to convey longstanding heritage or origin from past centuries. Related concepts include the singular form asır, the plural asırlar, and other ablative constructions such as asırdan or asırlardan bu yana for time-related expressions.
