süresince

Süresince is a Turkish temporal adverbial expression meaning “for the duration of” or “during.” It denotes the time frame within which an action occurs and is formed by combining the noun süre (duration) with the derivational suffix -ince, producing a single lexical item that attaches to a preceding noun phrase.

Usage and structure: Süresince is typically used with a noun or noun phrase to mark a time limit. Examples include izin süresince (during the leave), kontrat süresince (during the term of the contract), and kullanım süresince (during use). It can introduce a clause that describes actions or conditions in that period, as in İzin süresince kimseye bilgi verilmedi (During the leave, no information was provided) or Kullanım süresince lütfen dikkatli olun (Please be careful during use).

Grammatical notes: In Turkish, -ince attaches to the preceding noun phrase, and süresince functions as a formal, written-leaning temporal connector. It is common in administrative, legal, and formal discourse but less frequent in casual speech.

Relation to other terms: Süresince is synonymous in function with phrases like süre boyunca or boyunca, but it carries a nuance of emphasizing the precise period of time defined by a noun phrase rather than the entire or ongoing duration.
