kusursuz

Kusursuz is a Turkish adjective meaning flawless or perfect, used to describe something that has no discernible faults or defects. It can refer to tangible outcomes such as kusursuz bir performans, kusursuz bir hizmet, or to more abstract qualities like kusursuz bir plan. The term carries a strong positive tone and is common in everyday speech as well as in media, marketing, and criticism when praising quality.

Origin and form: Kusursuz is formed from kusur, fault or blemish, with the negative suffix -suz meaning without. The related noun kusursuzluk denotes the state or quality of being faultless; the opposite adjective is kusurlu, meaning faulty or defective.

Usage notes: While kusursuz is widely understood as “perfect,” it is often used hyperbolically rather than as a literal claim. In some contexts it suggests an ideal standard rather than an attainable reality, and can be tempered by expressions indicating near-perfection, such as neredeyse kusursuz, or by stylistic modifiers in evaluative writing and speech.

Examples of use include kusursuz bir el işçiliği, kusursuz bir sunum, and kusursuz bir plan. In Turkish discourse, the word conveys a high expectation of quality and is frequently employed in promotional, critical, and descriptive contexts.
