References Turkish Etymology 1 tr with suffix :inh ota:ـله<tr:-la, -le><ety:inh<trk-pro:*-la>> 2 1 Pronunciation tr /ɫɑ/ Suffix tr suffixes with, shortened form of tr ile babamla okula gidiyorum I am going to school with my father by, shortened form of tr ile okula kaykayla gidiyorum I am going to school by skateboard Usage notes If the word's last vowel is a front vowel (e, i, ö, ü), the ending becomes tr -le. annemle / trenle - with my mother / by train kuzenimle - with my cousin gözünle / troleybüsle - with your eye / by trolley bus If the word ends in a vowel, the ending becomes tr -yla, or after front vowel, tr -yle. arabayla - by car korkuyla - with fear gemiyle - by ship sevgiyle - with love If the ending is added to a proper noun, it must be used with an apostrophe. Barış'la - with Barış. Buğra'yla - with Buğra. Unlike most Turkish suffixes, this suffix is always unstressed; the stress in the combined word remains where it was in the word before suffixing. When tr -yla is added to a word ending in the back vowel "ı", the latter is raised to the front vowel "i" in the pronunciation; for example, the word tr dolayısıyla dolayısıyla ("consequently") is pronounced as if it were tr dolayısiyla, thus violating the usual vowel harmony. This change in pronunciation is not reflected in the orthography.
