örneklerdendir

örneklerdendir is a Turkish predicative form formed from örnekler (the plural of örnek, “example”) plus den (from/among) and dir (the copula). The expression means “it is among the examples” or “it is one of the examples,” and it is used to place a referent within a defined set that is being discussed or listed. It appears mainly in formal, editorial, or academic Turkish and is less common in everyday speech.

Morphology and usage: The form results from a three-part sequence: örnekler + den + dir, which is orthographically

Examples:

- Bu olay örneklerdendir.

- Yazıda kullanılan bu ifadeler örneklerdendir.

Notes: örneklerdendir is a stylistically marked form best understood in formal Turkish prose and scholarly writing.
