mahkemeye

Mahkemeye is the dative case form of the Turkish noun mahkeme, meaning court. It literally translates to “to the court” and is used to indicate direction toward a court or the act of submitting something to a court. The form is created by adding the dative suffix -e/-ye to mahkeme, with vowel harmony producing mahkemeye in this instance.

Common usages include phrases such as mahkemeye başvurmak (to apply to a court), mahkemeye sunmak (to submit to a court), mahkemeye sevk edilmek (to be referred to a court), and mahkemeye çağrılmak (to be summoned to court). The term frequently appears in legal documents, news reports about judicial matters, and everyday language describing procedures.

In the Turkish legal system, initiating a process typically begins with submitting documents to a court, and the act of bringing a matter to a court can be described as davayı mahkemeye sunmak or mahkemeye sevk etmek. Mahkemeye does not denote a specific court; rather, it denotes the action or direction toward any court within the jurisdiction of Turkish law.

Note: mahkemeye is a grammatical form, not a proper noun. The suffix may vary when additional suffixes attach in a sentence, as in phrases like mahkemeye başvuru or mahkemeye başvurduğunu.
