içermek

içermek is a Turkish verb meaning to contain, to include, or to comprise something within a larger whole. It can describe physical containment, as in a container holding items, or more abstract inclusion, such as a text or set of rules that comprises certain elements. The term also covers figurative senses like entailing or involving certain consequences or requirements.

Etymology and related forms: içermek is built from the stem içer- with the infinitive suffix -mek. Related forms include içeren, a participle meaning containing or that contains, and içeri, which relates to content or substance. The noun içeri̇k (content) and the adjective içeren (containing, including) are common derivatives used to express related ideas.

Usage notes: içermek is transitive and typically takes the thing that is contained as the direct object. It is used for both concrete contents and abstract inclusions. In contrast to kapsamak (to encompass) or barındırmak (to house or harbor), içermek emphasizes the elements explicitly present inside something. Examples: Kutu su içerir. (The box contains water.) Bu rapor çeşitli önerileri içerir. (This report includes various proposals.) Bu yasa yeni yükümlülükler içerir. (This law entails new obligations.) The participle form içeren is used attributively, as in içeren metin (text that contains).
