In these commentaries, there is information on areas such as linguistics, lexicology, history, geography and rhetoric. Turkish commentaries  are of great importance for understanding the texts of Classical Turkish poetry, even if this is not the case. In order to understand the meaning world of classical Turkish poetry better, it is necessary to consider and examine literary interpretations written in the same period. Because the couplets in which the poets are shown in various tricks can hold some words that lost their old meaning today. The literary and cultural material contained in the commentary texts will contribute to the emergence of such meanings. As a matter of fact, it is possible that encountering one of the old meanings of any word in the lines of a commentary.
