özeti

Özeti is a Turkish term that generally denotes a summary. It is derived from the noun özet, meaning a concise statement of the main points of a larger work or topic. In Turkish usage, özeti can function as the definite direct object form of özet in contexts where the summary is being referred to or specified.

In practice, özeti appears most often in academic, literary, and journalistic texts. It is commonly used in phrases such as çalışmanın özeti (the summary of the study) or kitabın özeti (the summary of the book). The form is also encountered as a heading or a phrase within a document, signaling a concise synopsis of the content that follows.

Linguistic notes include that Turkish relies on suffixation to indicate case, possession, and definiteness. Özeti represents the word özet affected by a suffixing pattern that marks specificity and reference within a sentence. In written Turkish, especially in everyday digital text, the form may appear without diacritic punctuation in places where Turkish orthography is not strictly applied, though standard Turkish spelling would typically present the suffix with appropriate punctuation as needed (for example, özet’i or özeti depending on syntactic role).

Related concepts include özetlemek, the verb meaning to summarize, and özetçi, a person who summarizes or prepares abstracts. The term is closely associated with abstracting, executive summaries, and concise digests across Turkish-language texts.
