ishleri

Ishleri is a Turkish noun formed from the root iş, meaning work, job, or task. The plural form is işler, and when the plural is combined with the possessive suffix -i, the resulting form is ishleri. In ordinary usage, ishleri refers to a person’s tasks, duties, or affairs, and can be translated as his/her/their tasks or matters depending on context.

In Turkish, ishleri commonly appears in expressions related to responsibilities and administration. Examples include isleri yoluna koymak (to put one’s affairs in order) and isleriyle meşgul olmak (to be busy with one’s tasks). The word often functions as a general reference to ongoing work or obligations rather than to a specific object.

Etymology and morphology: ish is the base meaning work or task. The suffix -ler marks the plural, producing işler, and the possessive suffix -i attaches to the plural to indicate ownership by a subject (his/her/its/their), yielding ishleri. Turkish uses agglutinative morphology, so such forms can convey nuanced ownership and plurality.

Usage notes: ishleri is typically written lowercase in ordinary prose. It is not a common proper name, so capitalization would occur only if used as a title or at the start of a sentence. If encountered as a geographic name or organizational title, capitalization would follow specific branding or official conventions.
