dilimlerinde

Dilimlerinde is a Turkish phrase meaning “in their slices” or “within their segments.” It is formed from the noun dilim, meaning slice or segment, together with affixes that indicate plurality, possession, and location. The full form reflects the combination of a plural suffix and a possessive suffix for the third person plural, followed by the locative suffix, resulting in the ending -lerinde.

In use, dilimlerinde functions as a spatial expression. It is typically attached to a noun specifying what is sliced, and it denotes that something is located inside or among those slices belonging to a group of subjects. Because Turkish agglutinates suffixes, the exact sequence of plural, possessive, and locative markers can vary with phonetic harmony, but the meaning remains “in their slices.”

Dilimlerinde can appear in literal contexts, such as descriptions of food portions or other divided items, as well as in metaphorical or poetic writings to convey divisions, stages, or parts associated with a group. For example, it might be used to describe a shared plate in a social setting or to depict segments of a plan, narrative, or data set that belong to a particular group.

Notes: As a phrase, dilimlerinde is not a standalone lexical item but a combination formed by attaching suffixes to dilim. Its precise interpretation depends on the surrounding noun and context.
