sorularla

Sorularla is a Turkish instrumental form built from the noun soru (question) with the plural suffix -lar and the instrumental suffix -la, which corresponds to ile in English. The result, sorularla, functions to indicate means, manner, or accompaniment, meaning “with questions.” It is typically used to describe how an action is performed or approached.

In practice, sorularla is common in educational, investigative, and discourse contexts. It appears in expressions such as sorularla öğretim (instruction through questions), sorularla öğrenme (learning by asking questions), and sorularla sorun çözme (solving problems with questions). The term is closely associated with question-driven or inquiry-based approaches, and it is often linked to pedagogical methods that emphasize critical thinking, exploration, and Socratic-style dialogue. In Turkish discourse, sorularla signals that inquiry and questioning guide the process rather than direct narration or rote memorization.

Examples include: “Öğretmen derse sorularla başladı” (The teacher began the lesson with questions), “Bu yaklaşım sorularla öğrenmeyi teşvik eder” (This approach promotes learning through questions), and “Araştırmada bulgular sorularla yönlendirildi” (In the study, the findings were guided by questions). As a grammatical form, sorularla is not a fixed noun but a combination of a plural noun and suffixes that can modify verbs, nouns, or adjective phrases to express means and method.
