düzeltmeyi

Düzeltmeyi is a Turkish noun form meaning “the correction” or “the amendment,” and it functions as the definite direct object in sentences. It is the accusative case of düzeltme, which denotes a correction, adjustment, or edit. In Turkish grammar, the accusative suffix -yi (with appropriate vowel harmony) marks the object, and when the stem ends in a vowel, a linking consonant may appear, as in düzeltmeyi.

Etymology and grammar: The term derives from the verb düzeltmek (to correct) plus the nominalizing suffix -me, yielding düzeltme (the act or result of correcting). The accusative suffix -yi then marks the word as the object of the verb. Thus, düzeltmeyi is used when a speaker refers to a specific correction that is being acted upon or discussed.

Usage and context: Düzeltmeyi appears in contexts such as editing, updating records, or correcting statements. It is commonly used with verbs like yapmak (to do/make), talep etmek (to request), or gerektirmek (to require) when referring to a concrete correction. Examples include: Düzeltmeyi bugün yaptım. (I did the correction today.) Düzeltmeyi talep ettiler. (They requested the correction.)

Related terms: Düzeltme (correction, the general process or result), düzeltmek (to correct), düzeltici (corrective), and düzeltema işlemi (the correction process). The word emphasizes a specific, definite correction rather than corrections in general.
