ortamlarndan

Ortamlardan is a Turkish noun phrase meaning “from the environments” or “from the surroundings.” It is formed from ortam (environment) plus the plural suffix -lar and the ablative suffix -dan, which denotes origin or source. In standard Turkish, the common spelling for this combination is ortamlardan. The form ortamlarndan is generally considered nonstandard or a misspelling, since the correct ablation after the plural would be -dan (not -ndan) when the stem’s last vowel is a back vowel.

Etymology and morphology: The root word ortam conveys the sense of setting, surroundings, or context. Adding -lar makes it refer to multiple environments. The ablative suffix -dan/-den attaches after the plural, and vowel harmony dictates the form -dan here because the stem’s vowel is a back vowel. The resulting word signals origin or source in relation to several environments.

Usage: Ortamlardan is used in academic, scientific, and everyday Turkish to indicate sourcing from multiple environments. Examples include: “Farklı ortamlardan elde edilen veriler analiz edildi.” (Data collected from different environments were analyzed.) “Çevresel etkiler, ortamlardan gelen bilgilerin birleşimiyle değerlendirildi.” (Environmental effects were assessed by combining information from the environments.)
