gelitirdikçe

Gelitirdikçe is a Turkish term used to describe a process of continuous improvement in which each development step reveals new requirements and opportunities, prompting further development. The concept is often invoked in discussions of software, product design, education, and personal development to characterize iterative, feedback-driven work cycles.

Etymology and spelling: Gelitirdikçe derives from the verb geliştir- “to develop” and the suffix -dikçe, which expresses a recurring or increasing condition, roughly translating to “the more [it develops].” The standard Turkish spelling is geliştirdikçe; gelitirdikçe is a common misspelling or nonstandard variant encountered in informal writing. In formal usage, geliştirdikçe is preferred.

Usage and contexts: The term is employed to describe iterative processes where improvements generate new insights, requirements, or challenges that drive further changes. It is frequently associated with agile development, iterative design, and continuous learning, as well as broader discussions about how projects, organizations, or individuals progress through cycles of refinement.

Examples:

- Turkish (standard form): Geliştirdikçe tasarım kullanıcı geri bildirimleriyle şekillenir. Translation: As it develops, the design is shaped by user feedback.

- Turkish (standard form): Geliştirdikçe öğrenme süreçleri daha etkili hale gelir. Translation: As it develops, learning processes become more effective.
