Kurutulmasyla

Kurutulmasyla is a Turkish term used to indicate the means or method by which something is done, derived from the verb kurutmak (to dry). It literally means “by means of drying” or “through the drying process” and is formed with the nominalized form kurutulma or kurutulması followed by the instrumental suffix -yla (or -yle). The standard orthography in Turkish is kurutulmasıyla; kurutulmasyla is a common variant seen in less formal writing, where the final i may be omitted in casual use.

In grammar and usage, kurutulmasıyla functions as an adverbial or prepositional construct that expresses instrument, means, or method. It is widely found in technical, agricultural, and scientific Turkish to specify that a process or result depends on drying. The construction parallels other instrumental expressions in Turkish, such as with the suffix -la/-yle after a noun, but it is built from a verb-derived noun meaning “the drying.”

Examples of usage include: “Kurutulmasıyla elde edilen ürün, nem içeriğini azaltır” (The product obtained by drying reduces its moisture content) and “Bu işlem kurutulmasıyla gerçekleşir” (This process occurs by means of drying). While common in technical writing, kurutulmasıyla is less frequent in everyday speech and is more likely to appear in manuals, reports, or academic texts.
