figürlerdir

Figürlerdir is a Turkish predicative form built from the noun figür meaning figure or character, the plural suffix -ler, and the copular suffix -dir. The combination yields a complete clause meaning “they are figures.” In Turkish, the copula -dir (with four allomorphs -dır, -dir, -dür, -dur) provides the assertion, and the choice of variant follows vowel harmony.

Morphology and form

- Figür (root) + -ler (plural) → figürler (figures)

- figürler + -dir → figürlerdir, the predicative form meaning “they are figures”

- The -dir suffix has several allomorphs to agree with the surrounding phonology, for example -dır, -dir, -dür, -dur, depending on the preceding vowels.

Usage

- Figürlerdir is used in formal or written Turkish to assert a classification or identity of a plural subject. It functions as a finite verb form with a declarative force.

- It is not a standalone dictionary headword but a verbial form that appears at the end of a clause.

Examples

- Bu çalışma kapsamında sınıflandırılan öğeler figürlerdir. (The items classified in this study are figures.)

- Eserler arasındaki unsur figürlerdir. (The elements among the works are figures.)

Notes

- Figürlerdir reflects typical Turkish predication: a plural subject followed by the copula ending the sentence with a strong declarative assertion.

- As with other -dir forms, context and punctuation influence its stylistic tone, often aligning with formal or analytic writing.
