Bir okuyucum, merdiven kelimesinin nece oldu\u011funu soruyor. Hemen s\u00f6yleyeyim ki merdiven diye bir kelime yaln\u0131z T\u00fcrk\u00e7ede vard\u0131r, bu kelime de, asl\u0131 hangi dilde olursa olsun, T\u00fcrk halk deh\u00e2s\u0131n\u0131n ve T\u00fcrk dili m\u00fbsik\u00eesinin mill\u00eele\u015ftirdi\u011fi s\u00f6zler aras\u0131ndad\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMerdiven\u201din asl\u0131, F\u00e2riside neverd-i b\u00e2m idi. Kelime, tavana y\u00fckselen k\u0131vr\u0131m, basamakl\u0131 yol, k\u0131saca merdiven demekti. Ayn\u0131 dilde, ayn\u0131 s\u00f6z, zamanla \u201cnerdb\u00e2n\u201d sesiyle kelimele\u015fti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bir mis\u00e2l olarak Hak\u00eem Sen\u00e2\u00ee, \u201cG\u00f6\u011fe y\u00fckselmek, tek kelime ile, \u2018y\u00fckselmek\u2019 i\u00e7in, iyi davran\u0131\u015flardan ve \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmadan daha iyi merdiven yoktur\u201d diyordu. Yine F\u00e2ris\u00eede yollar\u0131n ve yolculu\u011fun g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fc gidermek i\u00e7in yolda bir arkada\u015fla konu\u015fa g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fe y\u00fcr\u00fcme\u011fe de -T\u00fcrk\u00e7ede yol merdiveni diyebilece\u011fimiz- hususi bir deyim kullan\u0131l\u0131rd\u0131.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merdiven, T\u00fcrk\u00e7edir. O kadar ki b\u00f6yle bir kelime art\u0131k F\u00e2ris\u00ee olamaz. Bug\u00fcn k\u00f6k\u00fc ba\u015fka dildedir diye \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fclmek istenilen daha pek \u00e7ok kelime gibi, merdiven de bin y\u0131ll\u0131k bir T\u00fcrk dili tarihi boyunca i\u015flenerek h\u00e2lis T\u00fcrk\u00e7e s\u00f6zlerden olmu\u015ftur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
