ekonomiye

Ekonomiye is the dative case form of the Turkish noun ekonomi, meaning the economy. It marks direction toward or the beneficiary of an action related to economic matters. In Turkish, the dative suffix is -e or -ye depending on vowel harmony; when attached to ekonomi the form is ekonomiye. The word is used in contexts such as effects on the economy, contributions to the economy, or policies toward the economy.

Etymology: Ekonomi originates from the French économie, which derives from the late Latin oeconomia, and ultimately from the Greek oikonomía, meaning the management of a household. The Turkish term adopted the word with its modern sense during the Ottoman and early Republican periods, and the dative form ekonomiye followed Turkish grammar conventions.

Usage and examples: The form ekonomiye appears in phrases such as “ekonomiye zarar vermek” (to harm the economy), “ekonomiye katkı” (a contribution to the economy), and “ekonomiye yönelik politikalar” (policies aimed at the economy). It functions to indicate that an action, effect, or policy targets the economy rather than a person or object.

Notes: Ekonomiye is a bound, case-marked form and cannot stand alone as a noun. It is common in economic, political, and journalistic language to express relationships involving the economy. Its exact meaning depends on the verb or noun it accompanies.
