kütleyle

Kütleyle is the instrumental form of the Turkish noun kütle, meaning mass. It is created by attaching the instrumental suffix -yle (which can also appear as -yle or -yla depending on vowel harmony) to the base word. In many texts the form is written as one word, kütleyle, but it can also appear as two words in some formal or stylistic contexts, as kütle ile.

The primary function of kütleyle is to denote instrument or means, similar to “with” in English. It is used to indicate that a statement or action is performed using mass as a parameter, tool, or reference. In scientific, mathematical, and engineering Turkish, kütleyle can appear in phrases such as measurements, comparisons, and calculations that involve mass. Examples include kütleyle ölçüm yapmak (to measure by mass) and kütleyle karşılaştırma (comparison by mass). The construction is versatile and appears in descriptions, procedures, and results where mass serves as a basis or method.

Usage notes include that kütleyle is part of Turkish’s broader system of instrumental suffixes and may interact with surrounding grammar like any other -yle form. While sometimes you will see kütle ile written as two words, the fused kütleyle form is the standard in continuous prose. Both may be understood, but the fused form is generally preferred in contemporary Turkish writing.
