apparatlari

Aparatlar, and the possessive form aparatları, is the Turkish term for devices, equipment, or instruments. The singular form is aparat; the plural is aparatlar. The word is used across technical, scientific, and everyday language to refer to apparatuses designed to perform specific tasks, ranging from laboratory instruments to industrial machinery.

The term aparat is a general label for a collection of components or a mechanism that enables a function. It is a common part of Turkish technical vocabulary and has cognates in European languages, such as French appareil, and the English word apparatus. As a result, aparat appears in many compound expressions and formal contexts to denote the overall set of equipment involved in a process or system.

In usage, aparatlar appear in phrases such as laboratuvar aparatları (laboratory apparatus), tıbbi aparat (medical device), and endüstriyel aparat (industrial equipment). In everyday language, aparatlar can refer to equipment found in hospitals, factories, workshops, or research facilities. The term is sometimes contrasted with daha general words like cihaz (device) or alet (tool), where aparat often implies a defined collection of instruments forming a complete apparatus rather than a single device.

Notes: While fotoaparat is a historical or informal term for a camera, modern Turkish more commonly uses fotoğraf makinesi or kamera. The word aparat emphasizes a functional set of instruments rather than a single tool.
