eklere

Ekler is a Turkish noun meaning appendices, attachments, or supplementary materials in a document. The singular ek means an appendix or attachment, while the plural ekler refers to multiple such items. The form eklere is the dative plural of ekler, used to indicate direction toward or reference to the appendices, as in commands to consult the attachments.

In formal Turkish writing, ekler are commonly used to provide supplementary information that supports the main text. They may include tables, graphs, datasets, contracts, or legal documents. It is typical for documents to list their attachments under a section header such as “Ekler” and to label individual items (Ek A, Ek B, etc.). The term ekler appears frequently in academic papers, reports, government forms, and corporate communications.

Morphology and usage notes: ek is a native Turkish root meaning appendix or addition. To form the plural, the suffix -ler/-lar is added, yielding ekler. The dative plural suffix -e is then added to produce eklere, meaning “to the appendices.” This form is used when the sentence directs readers to consult or reference the attachments, for example, Raporun eklerine bakınız, meaning “Please refer to the report’s appendices.”

Examples: Raporun eklerine bakınız. Ekler listesi raporun sonunda yer alır. Eklerle ilgili bilgiler ekte sunulmuştur.
