yaratishdir

yaratishdir is a term used in Turkic linguistics to denote a predicative nominal form that combines the noun yaratish, meaning creation, with the copular suffix -dir. In this analysis, yaratishdir functions as “it is creation” or “this is creation.” The form illustrates how nominalized processes can serve as the subject of a copular predicate in Turkic languages, expressing a definitional or classificatory statement.

Etymology and morphology: The stem yaratish comes from yaratmak “to create” with the nominalizing suffix -ish, yielding “creation.” The copular suffix -dir attaches to the nominalized form to express assertion. In practice, phonological variants arise with vowel harmony: -dir, -dır, -dur, -dür depending on the surrounding vowels and language variety. The precise semantics vary, but the basic function is identification with the concept of creation.

Usage: yaratishdir is predominantly encountered in descriptive or pedagogical texts rather than ordinary speech. It is used to name or define a concept, or to illustrate a point about morphology, rather than to describe a concrete event. Example (language-learner oriented): “Bu ifoda yaratishdir” (“This expression is creation”). It may also appear in discussions of how languages encode predication with copulas.

Notes: The form and its acceptability differ across Turkic languages and dialects; some languages may prefer alternative constructions to render similar meanings. This article presents yaratishdir as a linguistic example rather than a common lexical item.
