yönetmektir

Yönetmektir is a Turkish linguistic form that denotes the act of governing or managing. It is a nominalized infinitive derived from the verb yönetmek, used mainly in formal or dictionary-style contexts to present the concept of governance as an abstract activity rather than a finite action in a sentence. In everyday Turkish, the ordinary verb yönetmek or the noun yönetim is typically used to express governance or administration.

Morphology and usage patterns vary with Turkish grammar. The base is yönet-, the root of the verb yönetmek (to govern, to manage). The infinitive suffix -mek is added to form yönetmektir in its definitional or encyclopedic function, with the -tir/-dir style ending serving to finalize the nominalized infinitive in certain formal constructions. As a result, yönetmektir is primarily encountered in dictionaries, glossaries, definitional clauses, and academic prose.

Contextual function. Yönetmektir is not a common everyday predicate; rather, it functions as a reference point for the concept of governance. For ordinary speech, speakers typically use yönetmek to express an action or yönetim to refer to governance as a field or process. The form is part of Turkish’s broader set of nominalized infinitives used to discuss actions as ideas or definitions.

Notes. The form is more likely to appear in linguistic descriptions, grammar references, or dictionary entries rather than in narrative text.
