küreye

Küreye is the Turkish dative form of küre, meaning “to the sphere” or “to the globe.” It marks direction toward a spherical object or concept and is used with verbs of motion or location, often following a directional phrase such as toward.

Küre is a native Turkish word for sphere or globe and appears in related terms like yerküre, which refers to the Earth. The form küreye results from adding the dative suffix -e to küre, producing the sequence küreye.

Usage examples include küreye bakmak, meaning to look at the sphere, and küreye doğru hareket etmek, meaning to move toward the sphere. In scientific or geometric contexts, küreye can describe movement toward or orientation relative to a spherical body. In everyday language, the Earth is more commonly referred to as yerküre, while küre is used for spheres in a general sense or in metaphorical expressions such as küreye dair (concerning the sphere).

In sum, küreye functions as a directional form of küre, employed to express movement toward or orientation with respect to a sphere in Turkish. See also yerküre and küre for related terms.
