azaltlarak

Azaltlarak is a Turkish adverbial participle form of the verb azaltmak, meaning “by reducing.” The standard form in most grammar references is azaltılarak, which expresses the action of reducing as the means or method by which another action occurs. The spelling azaltlarak is a variant that appears in some texts and corpora, but it is less common and not regarded as the normative form in many grammar guides.

In usage, this construction introduces a subordinate clause that describes the method or process by which the main clause’s action is accomplished. It is commonly found in formal or technical writing, policy documents, and analytical reports, where it helps explain how a result was achieved or a change was brought about. The surrounding sentence typically presents a cause-and-effect relationship, with the verb of the main clause in a past tense or present tense form.

Examples:

- Giderler azaltılarak bütçe dengesi sağlandı. (By reducing expenses, the budget balance was achieved.)

- Tasarruf önlemleri uygulanarak maliyetler azaltılır. (By implementing saving measures, costs are reduced.)

See also:

- azaltmak (to reduce)

- azaltma (reduction)

- azaltılmış (reduced)

Azaltlarak, as a form, thus functions as a meansed adverbial clause marker to convey that reduction is the mechanism behind an outcome.
