inceleyerek

inceleyerek is the adverbial participle (gerund) form of the Turkish verb incelemek, meaning to examine, inspect, or study. It expresses the manner or method by which an action is performed and corresponds to the English phrase “by examining” or “by studying.” The form is built from the verb stem incele- plus the suffix -yerek, resulting in inceleyerek; the construction is common in formal and analytical writing.

In usage, inceleyerek links to another action to indicate that the preceding action was carried out as the method for the following one. It often appears in academic, scientific, and journalistic styles to describe how conclusions were reached or how data were treated. The construction can introduce the basis for an argument, a procedure, or a recommendation, providing a precise sense of methodological approach rather than a general statement.

Examples:

- Verileri inceleyerek sonuçları değerlendirdik. (We evaluated the results by examining the data.)

- Kaydı inceleyerek hatanın kaynağını buldu. (She found the source of the error by examining the record.)

Notes:

- inceleyerek is used in formal contexts and is less common in everyday speech, where simpler phrases such as “inceleyip” or “bakarak” might appear.

- It is one of several Turkish adverbial participles formed with -erek/-arak, each conveying a different nuance of method or circumstance.
