ilerlemelere

ilerlemelere is a Turkish word form that serves as the dative plural of ilerleme, the noun meaning progress, development, or advancement. As a dative plural, ilerlemelere is used when the speaker refers to multiple instances or directions of progress, or when the noun phrase governs a postposition that requires the dative case (for example, toward, to, or against progress).

Etymology and morphology: ilerleme is derived from the verb ilerlemek (to progress) with the nominalizer -me, yielding progress or development. The plural is ilerlemeler, and adding the dative singular suffix -e to the plural produces ilerlemelere, indicating “to the advances/progresses” or “toward progress” in contexts that require case marking. Turkish grammar relies on suffixal tagging rather than prepositions for case, so ilerlemelere often appears with postpositions such as karşı (against), yönelik (directed at), or benzeri (similar to).

Usage: ilerlemelere karşı is a common phrase meaning “against advances/progress.” ilerlemelere yönelik planlar means “plans directed at progress.” The form can appear in political, scientific, or social discourse when discussing multiple fronts of development or when an action targets or responds to progress.

See also: ilerleme (progress), ilerlemek (to progress), gelişme (development), sosyal ve ekonomik ilerleme (social and economic progress).

Note: While the term is grammatically standard, its availability and frequency depend on the broader Turkish discourse and the specific syntactic constructions in which progress is being discussed.
