Turkish

<p>The instrumentative suffix <strong>-(y)lE</strong> can be placed after nouns and means <strong>with</strong> or <strong>by means of</strong> in Turkish.</p>

    <p>The <strong>y</strong> in front of <strong>le</strong> or <strong>la</strong> is only present if the last letter before the suffix is a vowel.</p>
