sorgulayarak

Sorgulayarak is a Turkish adverbial participle formed from the verb sorgulamak, which means to interrogate or inquire. The form is created by attaching the -yarak suffix to the stem sorgula-, yielding sorgulayarak. This construction functions as a zarf fiili (verbal adverb) that expresses the manner in which an action is performed, typically meaning “by questioning” or “through questioning.”

In use, sorgulayarak is common in formal writing, journalism, and narrative prose to emphasize method, investigation, or data collection. It can introduce or connect to a main clause and often indicates that the action in the main clause is carried out through questioning or examination of information, sometimes sequentially or concurrently with other actions.

Examples:

- Şüpheliyi sorgulayarak olayın ayrıntılarını öğrenmeye çalıştı. (He tried to learn the details of the incident by interrogating the suspect.)

- Raporu yazarken elde edilen bulguları sorgulayarak doğruluğunu teyit etti. (While writing the report, he verified its accuracy by scrutinizing the findings.)

- Görüşleri sorgulayarak konunun önemini vurguladı. (He emphasized the importance of the issue by questioning the opinions.)

Bu form, Turkish grammar’da zarf fiili olarak sınıflandırılır ve -arak/-erek uyumuyla kullanılır.
