yönetirsek

Yönetirsek is a Turkish verb form that expresses a hypothetical condition: it means “if we govern” or “if we manage.” It is derived from the verb yönetmek, meaning to govern, manage, or administer, and is used to introduce a clause describing what would happen under the condition that the subject takes on governance or management responsibilities.

Formation and use: Yönetirsek is formed by taking the present tense stem of yönetmek (yönetir) and adding a conditional clause marker to indicate a hypothetical scenario involving the first-person plural subject (we). It is commonly used to discuss potential outcomes, plans, or proposals that depend on assuming control or responsibility. The form can appear at the beginning of a sentence or within a larger conditional construction, with the main clause following to describe the result if the condition is met.

Examples:

- Yönetirsek bu sistemi daha adil hale getirebiliriz. (If we govern/manage, we can make this system more just.)

- Yönetirsek mali dengeyi sağlayabiliriz. (If we govern/manage, we can achieve financial balance.)

- Birlikte yönetirsek bu projeyi daha hızlı ilerletebiliriz. (If we govern/manage together, we can advance this project more quickly.)

Notes: This form is used in formal or discursive contexts to discuss policy, administration, or organizational strategy. It contrasts with other conditional forms such as yönetirse (if he/she governs) to specify different subjects. Related terms include yönetmek (to govern/manage) and other conditional forms built from the same verb.
