rolüyle

Rolüyle is a Turkish linguistic term formed from the noun rol (role) combined with possessive suffix -ü (his/her) and the instrumental suffix ile (with), producing the single word rolüyle. It functions as an adverbial or adjectival form meaning “with his/her role” or “in that role.” The construction is common in Turkish writing and speech when describing actions, performances, or states tied to the role a person is playing.

Etymology and form: Turkish often builds phrases by attaching suffixes to a base noun. In rolüyle, the base is rol, the possessive suffix -ü marks ownership (his/her role), and ile serves to express manner or means, yielding a tightly bound form that can act as an adverbial modifier. The word is typically written as one unit, without a space between its morphemes.

Usage: Rolüyle is used prominently in discussions of theatre, film, and other performances to attribute how something was done or perceived in a specific role. It emphasizes the role as the source of the action or influence. Examples include: “Oyuncu rolüyle sahneye çıktı ve büyük övgü topladı.” (The actor stepped onto the stage in his role and drew great praise.) “Film, başroldeki oyuncunun rolüyle hafızalara kazındı.” (The film was remembered for the lead actor’s performance in his role.)

Notes: While roluyle is common in Turkish discourse, it remains a specialized lexical form rather than a separate concept. It is one of several constructions in Turkish that link action to the role or character being portrayed.
