ekleyen

Ekleyen is a Turkish term that functions as an agent noun derived from the verb eklemek, meaning to add. It denotes the person or thing that adds or contributes something. In everyday use, ekleyen can refer to someone who adds items to a list, components to a device, or elements to a project, and it can also describe an action or process that adds.

Etymology and form: The word is formed by attaching the suffix -en to the verb stem ekle- (from eklemek), producing ekleyen, which translates to “the one who adds.” It is used both as a noun and as an attributive adjective in Turkish, and it shares the same productive pattern as other agent nouns built from verbs.

Usage: Ekleyen typically appears in noun phrases and clauses with the action of adding as the context. For example, "Projeye yeni bir modül ekleyen ekip" means “the team that adds a new module to the project.” It can also function in predicative positions, as in "Ekleyen kişi hatayı bildirdi" (“The person who added [it] reported the error”). In more formal contexts, alternatives such as katkıda bulunan or ek yapan may be preferred to emphasize contribution or action without personification.

Other notes: Ekleyen is not a specialized technical term in most domains; its meaning is largely determined by context. It can also appear as a surname or part of a compound name in Turkish-speaking communities, though such usage is uncommon. Related terms include eklemek (to add), eklem (appendage/segment), and eklenti (extension).
