sözlemelerle

Sözlemelerle is a Turkish word-formation that combines the plural noun sözlemeler with the instrumental suffix -le, resulting in the form sözlemelerle. It literally means “with the flatbreads” and is used to indicate accompaniment or means in a sentence. The base noun sözleme refers to the traditional Turkish flatbread called sözleme; the plural sözlemeler denotes more than one unit, and the suffix -le, when combined with the plural, yields the instrumental form -lerle: sözlemelerle. This construction is common in Turkish to specify what accompanies a dish or how something is done.

In usage, sözlemelerle appears primarily in culinary contexts, menus, or recipes, rather than as a standalone lexical item. For example, a menu might state that kebabs are served sözlemelerle (with flatbreads), i.e., accompanied by sözlemeler. In conversational Turkish, one might say “Sözlemelerle servis edildi,” meaning “It was served with flatbreads.” The form illustrates how Turkish uses noun inflection to express accompaniment and is part of the broader system of instrumental plural forms in the language.

Notes: Turkish orthography uses diacritics such as ö in sözleme and related words. The form sözlemelerle should not be confused with other Turkish words that have different roots and meanings, such as sözleşme (contract) or sözleşmeler (contracts).
