Suffix
-li
- with, containing; forms adjectives from nouns. This usage is treated as a "case suffix" and is separated from proper nouns by an apostrophe.
- of, from; of a nation or place. This usage is treated as a "word-forming suffix" and is not separated from proper nouns by an apostrophe. The demonym formed this way functions equally as an adjective and as a noun. It is commonly encountered in surnames derived from the names of towns and cities.
- İstanbul (“Istanbul”) + -li → İstanbullu (“[a person] from Istanbul”)
- Tokat (“a city in northern Anatolia”) + -li → Tokatlı (“[a person] from Tokat”)
Antonyms
