basari

Basari (Başarı) is a Turkish noun meaning success or achievement. It denotes the attainment of a desired outcome and is used across domains such as education, sports, business, and culture to describe performance or favorable results. The word is derived from the verb başarmak, meaning to succeed; başarı is the act or state of succeeding, and the related adjective is başarılı, meaning successful.

In everyday Turkish, başarı appears in phrases such as başarı hikâyesi (a success story), başarı oranı (success rate), and öğrencilerin başarısı (students’ achievement). It also figures in education policy and motivational language that emphasize merit, effort, and persistence.

Outside Turkish contexts, basari may appear as a transliteration without diacritics and can function as a surname or place name in some languages, independent of the Turkish meaning. The term reflects a broader cultural emphasis on achievement and improvement in Turkish-speaking communities.
