Genilemeyi

Genilemeyi is a Turkish verbal noun that denotes the act or process of becoming more general or widespread, or of making something more generalizable, depending on the context. The term is used primarily in formal or academic Turkish, especially in discussions of theory, sociology, linguistics, pedagogy, or data analysis, where researchers refer to how findings, concepts, or practices extend beyond their original scope.

Etymology and form: Genilemeyi is formed by adding the suffix -meyi to a verb form related to generalization or widening. The exact root can vary in usage, with some speakers connecting it to genellemek (to generalize) or genilemek (to widen/spread). This plurality of possible roots means genilemeyi can bear nuances related to generalization, broadening, or spreading, depending on the sentence.

Usage notes: As with many Turkish verbal nouns, the precise meaning of genilemeyi depends on the verb it derives from and the surrounding context. It often appears in technical writing to describe the process of achieving broader applicability or reach. In some contexts, genellemeyi (from genellemek) may be used to refer more directly to the act of generalizing, while genilemeyi emphasizes the ongoing process of becoming general or widespread.
