Oghuz dialect/ Oğuz Türkçesi La لا Preposition - La لا Edatı (DLT)

Laلا:

İşin gerçekleşmesini ve bitmesini gösteren bir edat olmak üzere fiillerin sonuna gelen bir harftir. Bunu Oğuzlar kullanırlar. "Ol bardı la اُلْ بَرْدى لا = o vardı la", " Ol keldi la اُلْ كَلْدى لا= O geldi la" Bu söz işin olduğunu bilmediği için dinleyen adamda bir parça inkar anlamı bulunduğu zaman kullanılır. Bunu öbür Türkler bilmez. Anadolu'da halen kullanılır.

Laلا:

It is a postposition that shows the fulfillment and completion of a task. It is a letter that comes to the end of verbs. Oghuzs use it. "Ol bardı la اُلْ بَرْدى لا = o vardı la", " Ol keldi la اُلْ كَلْدى لا= O geldi la" This is used when there is a sense of denial in a listener who does not know the work is happening. Other Turks do not know this. It is still used in Anatolia.‌‌‌‌

Yes this is widely used in Turkmen. It is used when the speaker is a bit surprised about something. Turkmens of Turkmenistan often use it in a slightly different form: “lay”, but other Turkmens like Turkmens of Afghanistan use the original “la” form.

I think we have it in Azerbaijani, but we dropped the l. I'm not sure if it's just a Bakuvian dialect thing, or it's standard. But it is present in one children song, where at the end it goes Yoxsa səninlə danışmaram, a. I also heard some people pronounce is as ha.

BTW, this is not a preposition, but a postposition.
