maddesidir

Maddesidir is a term used in Turkish-language discourse to denote the attribute of being material or of material basis. In philosophical and literary contexts, maddesidir is employed to discuss whether a phenomenon or entity belongs to the realm of matter as opposed to mind or spirit, or to describe a state in which physical substrate underpins existence. The form combines madde (matter, substance) with the declarative suffix -dir, producing a concise predicate meaning “it is material.”

In philosophy, maddesidir can function as a classificatory descriptor in debates about ontology and materialism, serving to distinguish material causes from immaterial or ideal explanations. In literary or rhetorical usage, it may be used as a neologism to emphasize concreteness, sensory detail, or the weight of physical reality. The term remains largely specialized and is not widely attested in everyday Turkish or standard dictionaries; its sense is derived rather than fixed, and its interpretation can vary by author.
