Ilevlerle

Ilevlerle is a Turkish grammatical form that means “with tools” or “using tools.” It is formed from ilev, a noun meaning tool or instrument, followed by the plural suffix -ler and the instrumental suffix -le, which combine to produce -lerle under Turkish vowel harmony.

The form is used to indicate that an action is performed with tools or instruments rather than by hand alone. It typically functions as a prepositional complement to the verb, answering how an action is carried out. In sentences, ilevlerle can modify the verb phrase, expressing the instrument used in the process.

Examples illustrate its usage. For instance, tamirci, ilevlerle çalıştı would translate roughly as “the mechanic worked with tools.” Another example is, laboratuvar çeşitli ilevlerle donatılmıştır, meaning “the laboratory is equipped with various tools/instruments.” While ilevlerle is commonly found in technical or instructional contexts, it can also appear in descriptive prose to emphasize the use of equipment in a task.

In contrast to other instrumentals in Turkish, ilevlerle specifically conveys the presence and use of physical tools or devices, rather than abstract means. Related terms include ilev (tool/instrument) and the general instrumental constructions in Turkish grammar.
