cinsiyetiyle

Cinsiyetiyle is a Turkish word-form meaning “by gender” or “with its gender.” It is formed from the noun cinsiyet (gender/sex) with suffixes that mark possession and the instrumental meaning “with/by,” producing a fused form that can function as an adverbial or determiner in a sentence.

In Turkish grammar, cinsiyetiyle can be understood as the combination of cinsiyet + -i (a suffix indicating a definite or possessed form, here “its/its gender”) and -yle (a form of the instrumental postposition equivalent to “with” or “by”). The resulting word is used to indicate that something is categorized, compared, or considered according to gender.

Usage is common in sociological, demographic, or policy-related texts where data or decisions are described as being organized by gender. It can appear in sentences that discuss comparisons, analyses, or considerations made with respect to gender. Example: “İstatistikler cinsiyetiyle karşılaştırıldı” (The statistics were compared by gender). Another example: “Politikalar cinsiyetiyle dikkate alınmıştır” (The policies have been taken into account by gender).

Notes:

- In everyday Turkish, more common constructions to express a similar idea are phrases like cinsiyete göre or cinsiyene göre, which mean “according to gender.” Cinsiyetiyle tends to appear in more formal or technical contexts.

- The form illustrates Turkish’s capacity to fuse postpositions, possessive markers, and nouns into single, nuanced expressions.
