Tanmlayarak

Tanmlayarak is a term that appears sporadically in online Turkish texts but is not a standard entry in Turkish dictionaries. In most contexts, it is treated as a misspelling or typographical variant of tanımlayarak, the adverbial participle form of the verb tanımlamak, meaning “by defining” or “through defining.” The standard spelling includes the letter ı in the verb stem, and the suffix -arak yields tanımlayarak; tanmlayarak omits this i, which is a common source of error in informal writing or when keyboard layouts collide with Turkish characters.

Etymology and formation: the correct form tanımlayarak is derived from tanımlamak “to define” with the adverbial participle suffix -arak, used to indicate manner or method in which an action is performed.

Usage and examples: tanımlayarak is used to indicate an explanation delivered by providing a definition. For example: Bu kavramı tanımlayarak açıklayın. The form tanmlayarak is considered nonstandard or a spelling error in formal writing and is typically corrected to tanımlayarak by editors or language learners.

Notes: The prevalence of tanmlayarak largely reflects informal or typographical contexts, where Turkish characters may be omitted or miskeyed. When aiming for standard Turkish, tanımlayarak is the appropriate form, especially in academic, editorial, or formal communication.
