eklerinden

Eklerinden is a Turkish grammatical term used to refer to the suffixes of a word, literally translating to “from its suffixes” or “of the suffixes.” It functions as a case-inflected form that points to the suffixes collectively or to one of them.

The term is formed from the root ek, meaning suffix or affix. Adding the plural suffix -ler yields ekler (the suffixes), and attaching the ablative -den turns it into eklerden, meaning “from the suffixes.” This combination is a typical example of Turkish morphology, where sequence of suffixes is appended to a base word to convey different grammatical relations.

In use, eklerinden appears in linguistic analysis or descriptive discussions about morphology. It can refer to any or all suffixes attached to a word, or to a specific subset when accompanied by context. For example, a sentence might note that “bir kelimenin eklerinden biri -ler ekidir,” meaning “one of a word’s suffixes is the plural suffix -ler.” Because it is a formed expression rather than a standalone lexical item, eklerinden is primarily encountered in grammars, language descriptions, and educational texts about Turkish affixation.
