organlara

Organlara is the Turkish dative plural form of the noun organ. The base noun organ can be pluralized as organlar, meaning “organs.” The dative case, indicated by the suffix -a in harmony with the preceding vowel, yields organlara, meaning “to the organs” or “for the organs.” This form is used when the organs are the indirect object or the destination of an action. Examples: “Organlara bakmamız gerekiyor” (We need to look at the organs); “Organlara zarar vermeden çalışın” (Work without harming the organs); “İlaç organlara uygulanır” (The medicine is applied to the organs).

Usage notes: organlara appears in medical, anatomical, scientific, and everyday contexts whenever the action is directed toward the organs. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical realization of the plural noun organ in the dative case. Turkish vowel harmony governs its construction: since the stem ends with the vowel a, the dative plural suffix is -lara rather than -lere.

Etymology and word formation: The Turkish word organ is borrowed from Latin organum (via earlier European languages). Organlar is formed by adding the general plural suffix -lar to organ. The combination with the dative suffix yields organlara, illustrating Turkish morphology where noun, number, and case are expressed through overlapping suffixes.
