Verilerek

Verilerek is a Turkish adverbial participle formed from the verb vermek (to give). It is created by taking the passive stem of the verb (veril-) and adding the adverbial participle suffix -erek, producing verilerek. The form roughly corresponds to “by giving” or “by being given” in English and is used to indicate means, method, or manner in which an action is performed.

Usage and function: Verilerek connects clauses and expresses how something is done, without using a finite verb in the subordinate clause. It is part of a broader class of Turkish adverbial participles, which also includes forms like -arak and -irken. Verilerek often appears in formal, administrative, or written Turkish, where it conveys procedural or instrumental meaning.

Examples:

- Çalışma, öğrenciye kitaplar verilerek başlandı. (The study began by giving books to the student.)

- Rapor, gerekli belgeler verilerek hazırlandı. (The report was prepared by providing the necessary documents.)

Notes: Verilerek conveys a passive sense of the giving action, aligned with the passive stem veril-. It is one of several gerundive constructions in Turkish that express how actions are carried out, with nuance depending on context and accompanying verbs.
