Çiftlerinden

Çiftlerinden is a Turkish inflected form derived from the noun çift, which can mean a couple or pair, or, less commonly, a farm. When the plural suffix -ler and the ablative suffix -den are added, the word becomes çiftlerden, literally “from the couples.” In other words, it is the ablative plural form of çift and is used to express origin or source referring to more than one couple.

Etymology and grammar: The base meaning of çift includes both “couple/pair” and “farm,” but in the phrase çiftlerden the intended sense is usually “from the couples.” The construction follows Turkish agglutinative grammar: root çift + plural suffix -ler → çiftler, then ablative suffix -den → çiftlerden. This form is common in prose and reporting where groups of couples are involved.

Usage and examples: Çiftlerden biri toplantıya katıldı. (One of the couples attended the meeting.) Çiftlerden alınan veriler analiz edildi. (Data obtained from the couples were analyzed.) Çiftlerden bazıları bu kararı onayladı. (Some of the couples approved the decision.) When referring to a single member of a group, one may say “çiftlerden biri” (one of the couples).

Notes: Çiftlerinden is not a proper noun or a standalone concept; it is a grammatical form used to indicate origin or source from a group described as “couples.” It contrasts with çif tler (the couples) and with phrases like çiftlerden biri (one of the couples).
