belgeleriyle

Belgeleriyle is a Turkish instrumental construction meaning “with their documents.” It is formed by combining the noun belge (document) with the plural suffix -ler to make belgeler (documents), then the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri to indicate “their,” yielding belgeleri, and finally the instrumental suffix -yle (often written as ile in separation form) to express “with.” The fused form belgeleriyle is the standard written variant.

In usage, belgeleriyle is used to specify that a person or group acts using or is accompanied by their documents. It often appears in report-style or narrative contexts where the means or accompanying items are relevant. Examples: Toplantıya belgeleriyle geldi. (They came to the meeting with their documents.) Görüşmede belgeleriyle tanıtıldı. (They were introduced with their documents at the meeting.) These sentences illustrate how the word functions as an instrumental phrase linked to a subject.

Related forms include belgelerle, the more general “with documents” without the possessive nuance, and belgelere (to the documents) in different syntactic roles. The possessive plural suffix can be combined with other postpositional elements to form similar constructions for different possessors.

Notes on spelling and syntax: belgeleriyle is typically written as a single word, reflecting Turkish orthography where the instrumental suffix -yle attaches to the preceding possessive plural form. The phrase can be separated into ile in less formal writing, but belgeleriyle is preferred in standard Turkish.
