ilkelerindendir

Ilkelerindendir is a Turkish predicate expression used to say that something “is one of the principles” of a broader framework. It is a formal, typically written construction and is most often encountered in philosophical, legal, or ethical discussions rather than everyday speech.

The expression is built from ilkeler (principles) with a genitive linkage and the copula, yielding a fused form that attributes a claim to a set of principles. In standard Turkish spelling the phrase appears as a single word in many texts, though it functions syntactically like a finite verb phrase. Its use signals alignment with an established normative system rather than a personal opinion.

Usage and nuance: ilkelerindendir points to a specified group of Principles, such as justice, equality, or other declared values, and asserts that the preceding idea or rule belongs to that group. It is suitable for formal arguments, policy documents, or academic writing, and can introduce a justification rooted in a recognized ethical or methodological framework.

Examples: Bu yaklaşım adalet ve eşitlik ilkelerindendir. Bu karar, bilimsel etik ilkelerindendir. In each case, the statement links the subject to a defined set of principles.
