Gelitirmek

Gelitirmek is a Turkish verb formed from gel (to come) with the causative suffix -tirmek. It means to cause someone or something to come to a place, to bring about arrival, or to induce presence or appearance. The word is primarily found in formal or literary contexts rather than in everyday speech, and it often appears in historical or editorial writing rather than in casual conversation.

Etymology and relation to other verbs: Gelitirmek is related to gelmek (to come) and to getirmek (to bring). While gelmek describes the act of arriving, gelitirmek emphasizes the act of causing an arrival or bringing someone or something toward a location. The construction reflects a causative layer added to the intransitive idea of coming, producing a sense of bringing someone or something to a destination as a result of an action.

Usage: The verb is used when an agent acts to ensure that a person or object comes to a particular place or event. Because it is less common in modern everyday Turkish, speakers may opt for more familiar expressions such as getirmek (to bring) or çağırmak (to summon) depending on the nuance they wish to express. Gelitirmek can also appear in more formal or literary sentences to convey deliberate or planned involvement in bringing someone forward.
