izlemekle
Izlemekle is a Turkish grammatical form derived from the verb izlemek, meaning to watch. It is created by adding the instrumental suffix -le to the infinitive izlemek, producing izlemekle. This construction functions as a nominalized adverbial form that expresses means or manner, roughly translating to by watching or with watching. In Turkish grammar, the -le suffix marks instrumental or comitative meaning when attached to nouns or nominalized verbs; izlemekle uses this function to indicate the means by which an action is performed or a context in which something occurs.
