Bilinmemesiyle

Bilinmemesiyle is a Turkish grammatical construction used to express causation, meaning “due to not being known” or “as a result of not being known.” It is formed from the noun bilinmemesi (the state of not being known) plus the instrumental suffix ile/yle, which marks manner or cause. The expression is most common in formal or literary Turkish and is used to link a consequence to the fact that something was not known.

Usage and nuance:

Bilinmemesiyle indicates a causal relationship that centers on the state of ignorance or lack of knowledge rather than a stated reason. It often appears in written texts such as reports, academic writing, or legal language, where abstracts or situational causes are described. In everyday speech, speakers typically prefer phrases like bilinmediği için or bilinme nedeniyle, which are more direct and colloquial.

Examples:

- Bilinmemesiyle, raporun bulguları yanlış yorumlandı. (Due to it not being known, the report’s findings were interpreted wrongly.)

- Bilinmemesiyle, olayın kapsamı yeterince ele alınmadı. (Because it was not known, the scope of the incident was not adequately addressed.)

Formation and related forms:

Bilinmemesiyle is built from bilinmemek (to not be known) in nominalized form as bilinmemesi, then connected with ile/yle to express the circumstance. It is closely related to structures such as bilinmediği için or bilinmediğinden dolayı. The choice between these forms can signal register: bilinmemesiyle for formal writing, bilinmediği için for everyday speech.
