Ölçütleriyle

ölçütleriyle is a Turkish linguistic form meaning “with their criteria” or “by their criteria.” It is a instrumental phrase derived from ölçüt (criterion, standard) and used to indicate the means, basis, or standard by which actions are performed or judgments are made.

Morphology and formation: The word combines several Turkish suffixes in sequence. ölçüt becomes ölçütler in its basic plural form. The possessive/owner suffix i (triggering a third-person possessor, such as his/her/its/their) attaches to üret plural to become ölçütleri. The instrumental suffixyle (variant of ile) is fused to yield ölçütleriyle, creating a complete mean/ basis expression: “by their criteria” or “with their criteria.” This fusion is a common feature of Turkish word formation, where suffixes attach in a fixed order to convey nuanced grammatical meaning.

Usage and nuance: Ölçütleriyle is typically used in formal, analytical, or evaluative contexts to specify that a process or decision was guided or evaluated according to particular criteria. It often contrasts with other means of evaluation, such as “ölçütlerle” (with the criteria) or “ölçüntülerle” (by measuring) depending on the intended nuance. The form emphasizes the criteria as the basis rather than the actions alone.

Examples:

- Kamuoyu araştırması, başvuruları ölçütleriyle değerlendirerek sonuçlandırıldı.

- Rapor, proje performansını ölçütleriyle karşılaştırıp net sonuçlar sundu.
