gerçekleri

Gerçekleri is a Turkish noun phrase meaning the facts or truths. It is the definite accusative plural form of gerçek, the core word for fact or truth. As a grammatical form, gerçekler denotes facts in general, and gerçekleri marks a specific, identifiable set of facts as the object of a verb or statement.

In use, gerçekleri typically appears when referring to a known or asserted body of information. It is common in sentences such as Gerçekleri ortaya koyun (Bring out the facts), veya Gerçekleri biliyoruz (We know the facts). Turkish relies on suffixes rather than articles for definiteness, so the combination of -ler (plural) and -i (definite direct object) yields the precise phrase gerçekleri.

The expression is frequent in journalism, public discourse, legal or investigative contexts, where emphasis on verifiable information is important. Phrases like Gerçekler ortaya çıktı (The facts have come to light) or Gerçekler reddedilemez (The facts cannot be denied) illustrate its role in distinguishing evidence from opinion or rumor. While gerçekleri refers to concrete information, broader discussions about truth and knowledge might use related terms such as hakikat, doğruluk, or gerçeklik to address philosophical or epistemological concepts.
