Güçlendirin

Güçlendirin is the second-person plural imperative form of the Turkish verb güçlendirmek, meaning to strengthen, reinforce, or empower. The infinitive güçlendirmek combines the root güç (power, strength) with the causative suffix -lendirmek, indicating the act of making something stronger or more capable. The imperative form is used to address one or more listeners as siz (you, plural or formal) and functions as a directive or suggestion. The corresponding singular imperative would be güçlendir.

Usage in Turkish is common in policy, organizational, and everyday language when directing action to improve systems, skills, or capacities, or to empower people or groups. The negative form is güÇlendirmeyin.

Examples:

- Güçlendirin güvenlik önlemlerini. (Strengthen the security measures.)

- Kadınların katılımını güçlendirin. (Empower women’s participation.)

- Ekip iletişimini güçlendirin. (Strengthen team communication.)

In translation, güÇlendirin can be rendered as “strengthen” or “empower,” depending on context. The exact nuance depends on what is being fortified (procedures, skills, participation, resources) and the target audience.

Etymology notes: güçlendirmek is built from güç (power/strength) plus lendirmek (a causative suffix indicating making something so). Related terms include güçlendirme (empowerment or strengthening) and güçlendirilmiş (strengthened).
