Dökülerek

Dökülerek is a Turkish adverbial participle formed from the verb dökülmek (to spill, shed, pour out). It is created by adding the suffix -erek (or -arak) to the verb stem, yielding a non-finite clause that indicates the manner in which an action occurs. The sense is closest to the English "by spilling" or "as it spilled," and it is often used to describe how something is dispersed, emptied, or shed.

Usage and nuance: Dökülerek emphasizes the manner of the action, particularly for liquids, powders, or other loose substances that spread or spill. It can also be used in a figurative sense to convey a sense of flowing out, such as emotions, ideas, or expressions, though this is more common in literary or formal prose. In normal speech, simpler conjunctions or participles might be used, but dökülerek remains a valued stylistic option when the spilling or shedding aspect is central to the description.

Grammatical notes: Dökülerek is an adverbial participle and does not form a finite verb by itself. It typically connects to a main clause to describe the manner of the action, as in sentences where the subject or object undergoes spilling, or where the spill defines how the subsequent event unfolds.

Examples:

- Şişe kırıldı ve içindekiler dökülerek yere yayıldı. (The bottle broke and its contents spilled, spreading on the floor.)

- Gözyaşları dökülerek aktı. (The tears flowed as they spilled.)
