nesneye

Nesneye is the dative form of the Turkish noun nesne, meaning object. In Turkish grammar, the dative case marks direction toward something, a beneficiary, or the target of an action. The dative suffix is -e or -a, chosen according to vowel harmony; when attached to nesne, the result is nesneye, indicating “to the object” or “toward the object.” In some phonological contexts a linking consonant -y- is added before the suffix, which helps pronunciation.

Usage of nesneye occurs in constructions that express movement toward, focus on, or contact with the object. For example, Nesneye bakıyorum means “I am looking at the object,” with the object marked in the dative. Another example is Nesneye ulaşmak için çalıştı, meaning “He/she worked to reach the object.” The form can also appear in plural when referring to multiple objects: nesnelere means “to the objects.”

Nesneye is a grammatical form, not a separate lexical item. It is part of Turkish case marking, which uses suffixation rather than prepositions to encode grammatical relations. The exact semantics of the dative can vary with verb and context, often overlapping with directional, benefactive, or purposive meanings.
