bölüler

Bölüler is a Turkish-derived term formed from the verb root böl- (to divide) and the plural suffix -ler. As a lexical formation it conveys the general idea of divisions, parts or units produced by dividing a whole, and can appear in a range of semantic fields where partitioning is relevant.

Etymology and morphology: the stem böl- is native Turkic and appears in related nouns such as bölüm (section, department) and bölme (division, act of dividing). The suffix -ler marks plurality in Turkish, so bölüler would be interpreted as “divisions” or “those that divide” when encountered in text. In standard modern Turkish, bölümler is the more common plural for bölüm; bölüler is less frequent and may appear in dialectal, poetic or technical usages.

Contexts of use: conceptually, bölüler can denote administrative or organizational subdivisions, structural parts of a document or work, discrete segments in data or processes, and abstract partitions in arguments or analyses. In mathematics and computer science, related terms (bölen, bölme) are used for divisor and division; bölüler would be an intuitive pluralization but is uncommon in formal terminology.

Related terms include bölüm (section), bölme (division), and bölen (divisor). Interpretation of bölüler depends on context and the preferred standard word in particular registers or disciplines.
