izleri

Izleri is a Turkish noun form meaning traces, signs, or marks left by someone or something. In Turkish, izleri is the plural noun izler (traces) with the third-person plural possessive suffix -i, yielding the sense “their traces.” The base iz carries senses related to a trace, footprint, imprint, or hint, and izleri is commonly used to refer to tangible or metaphorical remnants of an event, action, or presence.

Etymology and grammar: The word originates from iz (trace) and the plural suffix -ler, combined with the possessive suffix -i, which marks possession by a third party. The form izleri is flexible in meaning and does not fix gender or tense; its interpretation depends on context. Izleri can function in various predicates, including descriptions of archaeological finds, forensic evidence, or literary imagery.

Usage and contexts: In archaeology and history, izleri denotes physical remnants such as footprints, inscriptions, or material signs of past civilizations. In criminology and journalism, it describes evidence or signs pointing toward a conclusion. Metaphorically, izleri appears in literature and reportage to evoke lingering impressions of events, memories, or social conditions. Examples include references to the traces of ancient cultures in a dig, or the traces of a conflict visible in contemporary discourse.

See also: iz, izlemek, iz bırakmak, iz sürmek. Notes: Izleri is a common linguistic construction rather than a proper noun, and its exact English rendering (traces, signs, remnants) depends on context.
