yöntemiyle

Yöntemiyle is a Turkish instrumental construction meaning “by means of the method” or “using the method.” It is formed from the noun yöntem (method) plus the third-person possessive suffix -i and the instrumental suffix -yle, yielding yöntem + i + ile -> yön temiyle. The result is written as one word: yöntemiyle. The form signals the instrument or approach through which an action is performed.

In usage, yöntemiyle marks the means or method by which something is done. It is commonly used in formal or written Turkish, including academic and descriptive prose, to indicate that a task was carried out by a particular method or approach. The phrase can be paired with explicit possession (for example, kendi yöntemiyle, meaning “by one’s own method”) to emphasize ownership of the method, or it can appear without an explicit possessive when the method is clear from context.

Examples illustrate its ordinary use: Bu sorunu kendi yöntemiyle çözdü. (He solved this problem by his own method.) Teoriyi kendi yöntemiyle savundu. (He defended the theory by his method.) Yöntemiyle ilgili ayrıntılar raporda açıklandı. (The details related to the method were explained in the report.) Related forms include kendi yöntemiyle (by one’s own method), and phrases using ile or ilgili constructions to denote general means of doing something.
