nicelendirerek

Nicelendirerek is a Turkish adverbial participle formed from the verb nicelendirmek, meaning to quantify or render something quantitative. It describes the manner in which an action is performed, specifically by turning qualitative observations into numerical data or by applying measurement to express quantity. In academic, statistical, and research contexts, nicelendirerek signals that the proceeding step or analysis is carried out through quantification.

Grammatical notes: the form is created by adding the -erek suffix to the verb stem nicelendir-, which typically accompanies a main clause to describe how an action is carried out. It can introduce clauses such as “verileri nicelendirerek analiz edildi,” meaning that data were analyzed by quantifying them. It is mainly used in formal or technical Turkish.

Usage and context: nicelendirerek is common in scientific reporting, data processing, and methodological descriptions where turning observations into numerical values is central. It emphasizes a quantitative approach, as opposed to qualitative or descriptive methods. For example, “Çalışmada bulgular nicelendirerek sunuldu” illustrates presenting findings through quantification, and “Veriler nicelendirerek değerlendirildi” indicates evaluation based on quantified data.

See also: nicelik (quantity) and nitelik (quality); nicelendirmenin, nicelendirme gibi related nouns for the process of quantification. Note that nicelendirerek is distinct from verbs like nitelendirmek, which means to characterize or describe in qualitative terms.
