Fonksiyonla

Fonksiyonla is Turkish an instrumental form derived from the noun fonksiyon (function) with the instrumental suffix -la. It is used to indicate the means, instrument, or method by which an action is performed, effectively translating to “with a function” or “by means of a function.” The construction is common in technical, mathematical, and computational Turkish, where it expresses that a procedure or calculation is carried out through a specific function.

Etymology and formation: The noun fonksiyon is a borrowed term, typically from French fonction, and the Turkish instrumental suffix -la attaches to create expressions that denote instrumentation or means. Fonksiyonla can function adverbially before a verb, as in hesaplamak, analiz etmek, ya da modellemek, to convey “to do X with a function.”

Usage notes: While fonksiyonla is correct and understood, Turkish speakers may prefer phrases like fonksiyon kullanarak (by using a function) in everyday or non-technical contexts. The choice often depends on formality, brevity, or the mathematical register of the discourse.

Examples:

- Bu problemi fonksiyonla çözdük. (We solved this problem with a function.)

- Veriyi fonksiyonla dönüştürüp analiz ettik. (We transformed the data with a function and analyzed it.)

- Fonksiyonla modelleme, bu yaklaşımın temelidir. (Function-based modeling is central to this approach.)
