içeriklerinden

İçeriklerinden is a Turkish word meaning “from their contents” or “from the contents of them.” It is formed by combining the noun içerik (content) with suffixes that express possession and direction: the third-person plural possessive suffix -leri to indicate “their contents,” followed by the ablative suffix -den meaning “from.” The resulting form is içeri- ki-inden? The standard spelling is içeriklerinden, reflecting the suffix chain that yields from their contents.

Morphology and meaning

The base is içerik (content). To express “their contents,” Turkish uses the possessive suffix -leri, attaching to içerik to form a stem referring to contents belonging to others. The following ablative suffix -den (from) attaches to that stem, producing içeriklerinden. In short, it is a stacked suffix construction typical of Turkish, where possession comes before direction. The word is primarily used to indicate extraction or reference to material originating in the contents of some sources or objects possessed by others.

Usage

İçeriklerinden appears in formal or analytic Turkish when one quotes, extracts, or discusses portions of contents belonging to others. For example: “Bu raporda kaynakların içeriklerinden alıntılar yapılmıştır.” (“In this report, quotes have been taken from the contents of the sources.”) Another usage is to refer to data or information drawn from the contents of multiple items.
