buharli

Buharli is a term used in Turkish and Azerbaijani language contexts to describe something that involves steam. It derives from buhar, the word for steam, and the suffix -lı, which forms adjectives meaning having or characterized by. In Turkish orthography, the standard form is buharlı; when non-Turkish text or transliteration strips diacritics, it can appear as buharli.

In engineering and everyday speech, buharlı describes steam-powered equipment and processes. Common examples include buharlı lokomotif (steam locomotive), buharla çalışan cihazlar (steam-operated devices), and buharlı ütü (steam iron). The term helps distinguish steam-based technology from electric or internal-combustion variants.

As a proper noun, buharli may also be found as a surname or toponym in Turkish- or Azerbaijani-speaking regions, usually rendered with capitalization in native scripts. Such uses are not widely documented in English-language reference works, and they vary by country and transliteration conventions.

Because of its status as a common adjective rather than a unique title, buharli typically appears in descriptions rather than as a standalone subject. When encountered in texts, its meaning is usually clear from context as relating to steam.
