Genisletmek

Genisletmek is a Turkish verb meaning to expand, widen, extend, or enlarge. It can refer to physical enlargement—such as extending a building or facilities—as well as to enlarging a scope or range, for example expanding a market, a proje, or a policy. It may also denote increasing duration or capacity in more abstract contexts.

Etymology and form: Genisletmek is formed from the adjective genis (wide) with the causative/dispersive suffix -let- and the infinitive -mek, yielding a transitive verb that conveys making something wider or more extensive. In Turkish, it is a regular verb and follows standard conjugation patterns: genisletir (he/she/it expands), genisletti (expanded), genisletiyoruz (we expand), and so on. Note that standard Turkish orthography writes this concept as genişletmek, while genisletmek is the ASCII-friendly variant often used in environments that lack diacritics.

Usage notes: Genisletmek is common in business, planning, technology, and policy discourse. Examples include kapsami genisletmek (to broaden the scope), pazarı genisletmek (to expand the market), and kapasiteyi genisletmek (to increase capacity). The related noun forms are genisletme (the act of expanding) and genisletici (an agent or device that expands). In some contexts, synonyms or near-synonyms include genişletmek and büyütmek, though bağlam determines the most appropriate choice.

See also: genişletme, genis(lik), kapsama (scope), kapasite (capacity). Note on spelling: genişletmek is the standard orthography; genisletmek is the non-diacritic variant used in ASCII text.
