öretirken

Üretirken is a Turkish adverbial participle derived from the verb üretmek (to produce). It expresses simultaneous action, roughly translating to “while producing” or “during production.” As a non-finite verb form, it connects a dependent clause to the main clause and does not change for person, number, or tense.

Formation and usage: The form is created by attaching the temporal suffix -ken to the verb stem, yielding üretirken. It typically introduces a subordinate clause that sets the circumstance for the main clause. This construction is common in descriptive, instructional, and procedural texts, especially in production and manufacturing contexts.

Examples: Üretirken hatayı fark ettim. (I noticed the error while producing.) Üretirken kalite kontrolünü yapmak önemlidir. (It is important to perform quality control during production.) The form can appear with imperatives or declarative sentences to describe what happens during the process.

Notes: Üretirken denotes simultaneity and is one of several Turkish ways to express time relations. For nominal expressions of time or place related to production, other phrases such as üretimde or üretimin sırasında can be used, depending on the desired emphasis. In technical writing, this form helps to tie actions to a workflow without introducing a new finite verb form.
