Questions & Answers about Sessizlik saatleri ateş yakma yasağıyla birlikte açıklandı.

What does sessizlik mean, and how is it formed?

Sessizlik means silence or quietness.

It is built from:

• sessiz = quiet, silent
• -lik / -lık / -luk / -lük = a common suffix that makes abstract nouns

So:

• sessiz → quiet
• sessizlik → silence, quietness

In this sentence, sessizlik is used to describe the kind of hours being talked about: quiet hours.

Why is it sessizlik saatleri and not just sessiz saatler?

Because Turkish often uses a noun compound here rather than a simple adjective + noun pattern.

• sessiz saatler would mean something like quiet hours too, but it sounds more like hours that are quiet
• sessizlik saatleri means more specifically hours of silence or designated quiet hours

This is a very common Turkish pattern:

• öğle yemeği = lunch
• otobüs durağı = bus stop
• sessizlik saatleri = quiet hours

So sessizlik saatleri is the more natural set expression for an official rule or schedule.

Why does saatleri have -leri at the end?
