köyden

Köyden is the ablative form of köy in Turkish, meaning “from the village.” It marks origin or source and answers questions such as “from where?” The form is created by adding the ablative suffix -den/-dan to the noun; vowel harmony governs the choice, and for köy the last vowel is ö, so the suffix is -den, yielding köyden.

In usage, köyden indicates where someone or something comes from. Examples include: “Köyden geldim” (I came from the village) and “Köyden haberler geliyor” (News are coming from the village). It can also modify other nouns in phrases such as “köyden gelen insanlar” (the people who came from the village). The term is common in everyday Turkish and in written text to specify geographic origin.
