yorumlamay

Yorumlamay is a Turkish linguistic term derived from the verb yorumlamak, meaning to interpret or comment. In grammar and morphology discussions, yorumlamay is described as a non-finite form related to the negation of the verb yorumlamak. It is not a common standalone word in everyday Turkish; the usual expression for “not to interpret” is yorumlamamak.

Morphology and usage notes indicate that yorumlamay arises in analytic descriptions of how verb stems interact with negation and other affixes. The form is primarily of interest to linguists and language learners studying Turkish inflection, rather than a word used in ordinary speech or writing. In practical usage, negation is typically expressed with the full negated infinitive yorumlamamak, while yorumlamay may appear in scholarly diagrams, grammars, or typological comparisons illustrating non-finite aspects of Turkish verbs.

Relation to related forms: Turkish employs a range of non-finite and negated constructions, with yorumlamamak serving as the standard, productive form for negated interpretation. Yorumlamay serves as an illustrative stem in discussions of how negation interacts with verb morphology and dependent clauses.
