niteliklere

Niteliklere is a Turkish inflected form of the noun nitelik, which means characteristic, feature, or attribute. The base noun nitelik can take a plural nominative form nitelikler, meaning “characteristics.” By adding the dative plural suffix -lere, the form becomes niteliklere, meaning “to the characteristics” or, more commonly in usage, the phrase “according to the characteristics” when used with a connecting structure such as according to.

In Turkish grammar, the word is formed through agglutination: nitelik (root) + ller (plural suffix) → nitelikler (nominative plural) + e (dative) → niteliklere. The same stem can appear in various cases and with different suffixes to express relations such as location, possession, or direction. Niteliklere is frequently found in phrases that indicate comparison, evaluation, or adaptation based on features or attributes.

Typical usages include phrases like niteliklere göre (according to the characteristics), niteliklere dayanarak (based on the characteristics), or niteliklere uygun (appropriate to the characteristics). These usages appear in technical, scientific, and everyday contexts when discussing data, products, or observations filtered or classified by features.

Related terms include nitelik (characteristic) and özellik (attribute, feature). While nitelik emphasizes inherent properties or characteristics, özellik is a broader term that can refer to observable traits or distinctive aspects. Nitelikler (the plural noun) is the corresponding form for referring to multiple characteristics, whereas niteliklere is the dative plural form used in phrases that involve relation to those characteristics.
