uygunlikka

Uygunlikka is a Turkish lexical item derived from the noun uygunluk, meaning “suitability” or “appropriateness.” The form uy­gun­lik­ka represents the dative case of the noun, with the suffix –ka indicating “to” or “towards.” Consequently, uy­gun­lik­ka can be translated into English as “to suitability” or “toward appropriateness.”

In everyday Turkish usage, the dative of uygunluk appears mainly in formal or technical contexts such as engineering, law, or quality control. For example, a sentence may read: “Ürün, güvenlik uygunluk­ka uyarşı onaylandı” (The product was approved in accordance with its safety suitability). The suffix –ka is often employed in bureaucratic or scientific texts where precise assessment criteria are discussed.

Morphologically, uy­gun­lik­ka is composed of the root “uygun” (fitting), the nominalizing suffix –luk (forming a noun), and the dative marker –ka. This combination is partly productive; other nouns may similarly take the –ka case when the discourse requires a reference to a particular quality in a relational sense.

The usage of uy­gun­lik­ka is limited; in everyday conversation, speakers normally use the plain noun uygunluk or simply “uygun” as an adjective. In written Turkish, the term may appear in legal documents, technical standards, or academic papers dealing with compliance and standards.
