biçimiyle

Biçimiyle is a Turkish adverbial expression formed from the noun biçim (form) plus the possessive suffix -i and the instrumental suffix -yle, yielding a meaning close to “in the form of” or “in the manner of.” It describes the form, style, or template in which something is produced, described, or interpreted, and it often signals imitation or adaptation to a particular tradition.

In usage, biçimiyle commonly follows a noun to specify the kind of form being referenced. It is frequently seen in discussions of art, literature, architecture, and design, where a work is described as being created or presented “in the form/style of” a given tradition or period. The phrase can modify verbs or adjectives by indicating the manner of action or description, and it can appear in predicative constructions as well.

Examples:

- Bu heykel antik Roma biçimiyle yapılmıştır. (This statue was made in the form of ancient Rome.)

- Şiir, Modernist biçimiyle yazıldı. (The poem was written in the Modernist form.)

- Bu metin, Osmanlı biçimiyle sunuldu. (This text was presented in the Ottoman form/style.)

- Film, gerçekçi biçimiyle çekildi. (The film was shot in a realistic form/style.)

Etymology and related terms: Biçimiyle is a compound built from biçim (form) with -i and -yle. Related concepts include biçim (form), biçimsel (formal/style-related), and phrases such as biçimine göre (according to the form) for comparative or classificatory uses.
