çoklu

Çoklu is a Turkish adjective meaning "multiple" or "many." It is used to describe entities that occur in several parts or instances and commonly appears in compound terms. The word is formed from the stem çok, meaning "many," combined with the suffix -lu, which conveys "having" or "characterized by."

In everyday Turkish, çoklu is used across diverse domains. Examples include çoklu ortam (multimedia environments), çoklu seçim (multiple-choice), çoklu kullanıcı (multi-user), and çoklu görev (multitasking). In technical and academic contexts the term serves as a direct Turkish equivalent of the English "multi-" or "multiple," as in çoklu veri (multivariate data), çoklu regresyon (multiple regression), çoklu testler or çoklu karşılaştırma (multiple testing or multiple comparisons), and çoklu faktörlü kimlik doğrulama (multi-factor authentication).

Çoklu is not typically a proper noun. It functions as an ordinary descriptive term in Turkish and gains meaning through the nouns it modifies.
