vücutlu

Vücutlu is a Turkish adjective formed from vücut (body) plus the suffix -lu, which denotes possession or accompaniment. The word literally means “having a body” or “bodied.” It is used to express corporeality, distinguishing something that has a physical form from something incorporeal or abstract. The root vücut stems from Turkish, itself linked to Arabic vujūd, and the suffix -lu is a common productive suffix in Turkish.

In Turkish, vücutlu is most often found in philosophical, theological, or literary contexts. It may appear in discussions of ontology to contrast corporeal beings with non-material entities such as souls or spirits. The term is relatively formal and is less common in everyday speech, where expressions like bedensel or fiziksel are more typical for “bodily” or “physical.”

Examples include phrases such as vücutlu varlıklar (corporeal beings) or vücutlu insanlar (people with bodies). In speculative fiction or academic writing, vücutlu can be used to emphasize the contrast between physical form and other modes of existence, such as astral or digital selves. Overall, vücutlu serves to foreground corporeality in contrast to non-physical or abstract concepts.
