atamalardan

Atamalardan is a Turkish grammatical form that serves as the ablative plural of the noun atama, which means appointment or designation. In usage, atamalardan translates roughly as “from the appointments” or “out of the appointments” and is used to indicate origin or source in sentences.

The form is built from the root atama with the plural suffix -lar to form atamalar (appointments), followed by the ablative suffix -dan (or -den depending on vowel harmony). The result is atamalardan. For example, “Atamalardan biri reddedildi” means “One of the appointments was rejected.” “Atamalardan gelen tepkiler sürüyor” could mean “The reactions arising from the appointments are ongoing.” The nuance is that it refers to multiple instances of “appointment.”

In Turkish syntax, atamalardan can function as an adjunct or as part of a noun phrase, often appearing in legal, administrative, or political discourse where the focus is on the source of actions, decisions, or criticisms. It is a relative, descriptive form rather than a standalone concept.

It is not a proper noun or a separate concept; rather, it is a grammatical form used in specific contexts. Etymologically, it derives from atama with the plural suffix -lar and the ablative suffix -dan, yielding the combined form atamalardan.
