örenmek

Örenmek is a Turkish verb that generally means “to model, to represent, or to exemplify.” It is derived from the noun örnek (“example” or “model”) with the verb‑forming suffix ‑mek, which creates the infinitive form. The term is used in both literal and figurative contexts: literally, it can refer to the act of creating a physical model or replica, while figuratively it denotes the action of illustrating a concept by providing an example.

In contemporary Turkish, örenmek appears in formal and literary language, often in academic or instructional texts where authors aim to clarify abstract ideas through concrete illustrations. The reflexive form örẽnür (“to be exemplified”) is also employed, especially in passive constructions. Related verbs include örneklemek (“to give an example”) and örnek almak (“to take as an example”).

Etymologically, the word traces back to the Ottoman Turkish period, maintaining the same core meaning. Its usage has remained relatively stable, though modern speakers may favor synonyms such as örnek göstermek or modellemek, depending on stylistic preferences. The verb follows regular conjugation patterns in Turkish, adapting to tense, mood, and personal pronouns according to standard grammatical rules.
