emlak

Turkish

Etymology

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish املاك‎ (emlak), from Arabic أَمْلَاك‎ (ʾamlāk), plural of مِلْك‎ (milk, “property, estate”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [e̞mˈläk]
• Hyphenation: em‧lak

Noun

emlâk (definite accusative emlaki, plural emlakler)

1. estate, property

Usage notes

• Although etymologically a plural form (singular mülk), it is sometimes used with a plural suffix.
• Inflected forms are irregular due to the conservation of Ottoman pronunciation. Regular forms like emlakı and emlaklar are occasionally seen.
