diliyle

Diliyle is a Turkish grammatical form used to express the instrument or means by which an action is performed, typically related to language or speech. It is formed from dil, meaning language or tongue, plus the possessive suffix -i and the instrumental particle ile (with). In standard writing, diliyle is usually rendered as a single word. The construction marks the instrument or manner of an action and is most common with verbs of speaking or verbal expression, though it can also be used metaphorically to indicate doing something in one’s own words or manner.

Morphology and usage are straightforward: dil is the base noun, -i marks possession (his/her language), and ile provides the meaning “with.” The result diliyle therefore conveys “with his/her language/tongue.” Because it refers to language or speech as the instrument, the form frequently appears in clauses describing speaking, presenting one’s statements, or expressing meaning verbally.

Examples:

- O diliyle konuştu. (He spoke with his tongue / in his own words.)

- Diliyle yaptığı konuşma, dinleyicileri etkiledi. (The speech he gave with his language/the words he expressed, affected the audience.)

Diliyle can also appear in longer phrases that describe expressing something through language, such as sözlerini diliyle ifade etmek (to express one’s words with language). In Turkish, the same idea can sometimes be written as dil ile, though diliyle as a fused form is common in contemporary usage.
