fikriyle

Fikriyle is a Turkish adverbial phrase formed from fikir (idea) with the third-person possessive suffix -i and the instrumental postposition ile (with). The combination yields roughly “with his idea” or “in accordance with his idea” and functions as a prepositional adjunct that accompanies a verb to indicate that an action is performed according to or under the influence of a particular idea. The construction is common in formal and literary Turkish and shows how Turkish encodes influence or basis for actions through possession.

Usage and nuance: The phrase typically attributes guidance or authority to the owner of the idea, usually in the third person, though the referent is determined by context. It is used with verbs of action, planning, or decision-making to indicate alignment with someone’s thinking rather than with a concrete plan or order. It can convey that an outcome was shaped by a person’s idea or perspective.

Examples: O, fikriyle hareket etti. (He acted according to his idea.) Karar, fikriyle uyumlu olarak alındı. (The decision was made in line with his idea.) In Turkish, fikriyle behaves as a postpositional phrase that can be attached to different verbs to express influence, alignment, or foundation by someone’s thought.
