özneyle

özneyle is a Turkish linguistic term describing a morphological form built from the noun özne (subject) and the instrumental/comitative suffix -yle. It marks accompaniment or instrument in Turkish grammar and is used to illustrate how the subject can participate in an action as an accompanying entity. The suffix -yle follows vowel harmony rules, yielding -yle after a stem ending in a front vowel; other nouns may form -yla, -le, or -la depending on the final vowel and consonant. In everyday Turkish, the more common expression for “with” is ile (often written as ile or as a fused form in some contexts), but the -yle form appears in formal, descriptive, or linguistic discussions to demonstrate the mechanics of the comitative/instrumental marking.

As a derived form, özneyle is not a separate lexical item but a morphological example showing how Turkish can mark accompaniment or instrument by attaching a suffix to a noun. Its usage is primarily encountered in grammatical descriptions, linguistic analyses, and typological comparisons rather than in routine spoken Turkish. The concept it represents is part of the broader Turkish comitative/instrumental system, where suffixes attach to nouns to indicate association with the action rather than a dedicated case like in some other languages.
