Heyeti

Heyeti is a Turkish noun meaning a delegation or committee, typically a formal body appointed to represent a group or to carry out a task. In Turkish usage, it often refers to a group that acts as a single entity in negotiations, inquiries, or official proceedings.

The word derives from Turkish heyet, borrowed from Arabic hay’a meaning "body" or "organization." In Ottoman and modern Turkish, the term has been used widely to describe official delegations, councils, and commissions.

In Turkish grammar, heyeti is the accusative singular form of heyet; the nominative is heyet, the genitive heyetin, the dative heyetine, the locative heyette, and the ablative heyetten. The phrase heyeti başkanı means "the chair of the delegation," while heyet raporu refers to the delegation's report. The term can appear in government, business, diplomacy, and media contexts.

Related terms include delegation, commission, council, and committee, reflecting the word’s use across official and organizational settings.
