Eylemiyle

Eylemiyle is a Turkish term formed from the noun eylem (action), the possessive suffix -i (its), and the instrumental suffix -yle, yielding the fused form eylemiyle. The construction literally means “with its action” or “by means of its action” and is used to indicate the instrument, means, or manner by which an action is accomplished. In Turkish, this instrumental meaning can be expressed either in fused form (eylemiyle) or, more transparently in some contexts, with the separate particle ile (eylem ile).

Morphology and usage notes

- Eylem + -i (its action) + -yle (instrumental) results in eylemiyle, with vowel harmony guiding the suffixes.

- The phrase functions as an adverbial instrument or means marker, often in formal, analytical, or literary Turkish.

- It emphasizes the action itself as the mechanism driving a result, answering questions such as how or by what means something occurred.

- A closely related construction is eylem yoluyla (“through action” or “by action”), which conveys a similar idea in a more explicit prepositional form. Eylemiyle tends to be more compact and sometimes more stylistically marked.

Examples

- Olayın seyrini liderin eylemiyle belirledi. (The course of the event was determined by the leader’s action.)

- Değişim, hareketin eylemiyle mümkün oldu. (Change became possible by the action of the movement.)
