bilimi

Bilimi is a Turkish noun form derived from bilim, the word for science. It represents the definite direct-object form that results from adding the suffix -i to bilim. In Turkish, the definite direct-object marker -i is used to indicate that the noun is the specific object of a transitive verb, so bilimi corresponds roughly to “the science” in contexts where science is the object of the action.

The base noun bilim denotes the broad concept of science, including systematic knowledge and inquiry about the natural world, society, and abstract ideas. In Turkish discourse, bilim covers disciplines such as physics, biology, mathematics, sociology, and other fields of study. The form bilimi carries the same core meaning as bilim but is grammatically positioned as the definite object in a sentence.

Grammar-wise, Turkish relies on suffixal morphology, and the -i suffix is one of several that mark case and definiteness. The phonology of bilim harmonizes with Turkish vowels when the object marker is attached, producing bilimi. This form can participate in longer grammatical constructions with additional suffixes or possessive marks, depending on the sentence structure, but it remains fundamentally a way to designate “the science” as a specific object.

In usage, bilimi appears in educational, academic, and media contexts where the speaker refers to science in a definite sense or as a defined topic of discussion or inquiry. It is part of standard Turkish and reflects how Turkish handles definiteness and transitivity through suffixation. See also bilim, Turkish language, and science.
