Báléé

Bölü is a Turkish noun derived from the verb bölmek, meaning to divide. It denotes a part, portion, or segment of a larger whole. In everyday use, bölü can refer to a subdivision of something that has been divided, but Turkish writers often prefer bölüm (chapter or section) or parça (piece) when referring to organized divisions of an object or text. The term is also used in formal or technical contexts to indicate a subdivision within a larger whole.

In mathematics, bölü is the word for division or quotient. It appears in phrases such as bir bölü iki, meaning one divided by two, and is used to describe fractions or ratios in formal arithmetic or algebraic contexts. This mathematical sense is among the most common places where the term appears outside ordinary prose.

Morphology and usage notes: bölü has the plural form bölüler and follows standard Turkish inflection patterns for singular and plural nouns. While bölü shares a general sense of “part,” its use in everyday language is more limited than bölüm or parça, which are more common for describing sections of a book, a document, or a physical object. The choice among these terms depends on nuance: bölü emphasizes a subdivision, bölüm emphasizes a formally defined section or chapter, and parça emphasizes a discrete piece.
