göstergeyle

Göstergeyle is a Turkish grammatical form formed by attaching the instrumental suffix -yle to the noun gösterge, meaning indicator, sign, or gauge. The form expresses means or instrument in a sentence and translates roughly as “with the indicator” or “using the indicator.”

Morphology and etymology: The suffix -yle is an instrumental form in Turkish, a variant of -ile; it appears after vowels and yields a single word when combined with the stem. Thus göstergeyle is the instrumentally marked form of gösterge. This construction is commonly used in technical or formal contexts where a device or indicator serves as the means of action.

Usage: Göstergeyle is mainly found in technical, scientific, and data-oriented Turkish, especially when describing measurement, control, or data-collection processes that rely on an indicator or instrument. In everyday speech, speakers typically prefer ile or vasıtasıyla, but -yle is retained in specialized writing to emphasize the instrument or method.

Examples:

- Bu deneyde sonuçlar göstergeyle ölçüldü.

- Giriş değerleri göstergeyle kaydedildi.

See also: Other instrumental forms in Turkish include -le/-yla and the related postpositions ile, vasıtasıyla, and aracılığıyla.
