getirisi

Getirisi is a Turkish noun meaning the return, yield, or benefit obtained from an investment, project, or activity. It is used in economics, finance, and accounting to denote the monetary value of benefits generated over time, though it may also refer to non-financial advantages in a broader sense.

In financial contexts, getirisi describes the performance of an asset or venture. Returns can be gross (before costs) or net (after costs). Common components include capital gains, interest, dividends, and operating profits. Returns are frequently expressed as a monetary amount or as a percentage of the invested capital. For example, gross return rate can be described as the annual income divided by the initial investment, while net return rate accounts for expenses: (annual income minus annual expenses) divided by the initial investment.

Getirisi is used to compare alternatives, assess profitability, and evaluate the efficiency of projects, investments, or policies. It also appears in discussions of social or public value, where terms like social return on investment may be translated as getirisi of a program.

Etimoloji: getirisi is derived from getiri, with the possessive suffix -i, rooted in getir- 'to bring' in Turkish. In standard Turkish, getirisi means 'its return' or simply 'the return' and is a common term in business and finance.
