kitlede

Kitlede is a Turkish word that functions as the locative form of the noun kitle, meaning crowd or mass. The form is created by adding the locative suffix -de to the stem, with vowel harmony producing kitlede. It is used to indicate location, existence, or participation within a group, and can be understood literally as “in the crowd” or figuratively as “among the masses.”

In usage, kitlede often appears in noun phrases and clauses that describe people or opinions within a group. The base form kitledeki refers to people or things that are inside or part of the crowd. The locative suffix marks where something is happening or where a person or sentiment is located socially or politically.

Examples:

- Kitledeki insanlar sessiz kaldı. (The people in the crowd were quiet.)

- O görüş kitlede kabul gördü. (That view gained acceptance among the masses.)

- Konuşma, kitlede büyük bir etki yarattı. (The speech created a strong impact on the crowd.)

Kitlede can be complemented by other suffixes to form more complex expressions, such as kitledeki iletisi (the message among the crowd) or kitledeye bağlı düşünce (a thought tied to the masses). Its usage is common in journalism, political discourse, and social commentary to reference public opinion, mass movements, or crowd dynamics.
