evleriyle

Evleriyle is a Turkish linguistic form meaning "with their houses" or "together with their houses." It is not a standalone noun; it is a morphologically complex word built from the root ev (house) through a sequence of suffixes that encode number, possession, and means.

Morphology and formation: The base ev receives the plural suffix -ler to form evler (houses). A third-person plural possessive suffix -leri is then attached, yielding evleri (their houses). Finally, the instrumental suffix -yle (a variant of ile, meaning "with") is added, producing evleriyle. The exact spelling reflects Turkish vowel harmony and suffix alternation, resulting in the single word evleriyle.

Usage and function: Evleriyle encodes accompaniment or means within a single word, illustrating Turkish’s agglutinative character. It is typically used in descriptive, literary, or formal contexts to indicate “with their houses” rather than in ordinary casual speech. The form demonstrates how Turkish combines possession, plurality, and instrumental relation into one morphologically rich unit.

Notes: The suffixes involved follow standard Turkish patterns: -ler for plurality, -leri for third-person plural possession, and -yle/-yla for the instrumental “with,” with the exact shape adjusted to vowel harmony. In most sentences, the meaning is clear from context, and the word behaves as a single lexeme despite its multiple components.
