sürekli

Sürekli is a Turkish adjective meaning continuous, constant, or ongoing. It describes something that lasts without interruption or a state that does not change abruptly. In Turkish usage, the word can modify nouns or verbs, and it is also used in adverbial constructions such as sürekli olarak, meaning “continuously” or “on a continual basis.”

The related noun süreklilik denotes continuity, while süre means duration or time span. The term is common in everyday language to describe processes, conditions, or behaviors, for example: “O, sürekli çalışır” (He works continuously) or “Bu sorun sürekli gündeme geliyor” (This issue keeps coming up).

In scientific and mathematical contexts, sürekli appears in terminology such as sürekli fonksiyon (continuous function) and süreklilik (the property of continuity). It is often contrasted with kesikli or kesintili (discrete or interrupted) to describe non-discrete processes or signals. The word is widely used in Turkish literature, media, and education to convey persistence or an ongoing nature.
