ecinsellikle

Ecinsellikle is a Turkish adverb meaning “in a lustful or lecherous manner.” It is formed from the noun ecinsellik (lustfulness, lewdness) with the adverbial suffix -likle, yielding the sense “with lust” or “lustfully.” The term carries an evaluative or condemnatory tone and is more common in formal, literary, or critical discourse than in everyday speech.

Usage and nuance: Ecinsellikle describes actions, remarks, or attitudes driven by sexual desire. It often appears in discussions of ethics, literature analysis, media criticism, or religious/moral rhetoric to label behavior as improper or indecent. In contemporary Turkish, speakers may opt for more common expressions such as şehvetli or ecinsel for adjectives, or use phrases like ecinsellikle hareket etmek to specify the manner of conduct.

Examples: In literary contexts, a character’s actions might be described as ecinsellikle hareket etmek. The term tends to be formal or literary and can sound archaic in ordinary conversation.

Related terms include ecinsellik (lustfulness or lewdness), şehvet (lust), and müstehcenlik (indecency).
